Eleven directors from eleven countries each contribute an eleven-minute short reflecting on the events of 11 September 2001: A village teacher in Iran tries to explain to her young students what's happened; city kids in Burkina Faso think they've spotted Osama bin Laden; a deaf Frenchwoman in Manhattan writes a Dear John letter to a man who left that morning for work at the World Trade Center; a Chilean remembers Allende; events recall other deaths; a mother endures more than her son's death. Tones vary, as do the locales. Most concern coming to terms with the events of the day, but at least one confronts the viewer with tragedy and death.
Directed byKen Loach, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Samira Makhmalbaf, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Amos Gitai, Shōhei Imamura, Sean Penn, Mira Nair, Danis Tanović, Youssef Chahine, Claude Lelouch
