America Rebuilds

Narrated by Oscar Winning Actor Kevin Spacey AMERICA REBUILDS is an emotional and compelling portrait of the process toward recovery and reconstruction of the World Trade Center disaster from the rubble that is Ground Zero. From October 2001 until May 2002, the producers had authorized and unprecedented access to the Ground Zero site, and videotaped engineers and contractors as they remove debris and prepare for the eventual rebuilding. The film looks at the struggle of the engineers who had to rush to evaluate the eight-square-block, 75-foot deep World Trade Center basement to discover whether the slurry wall that keeps the Hudson River out of lower Manhattan has been breached, and the behind-the-scenes strategy meetings of the various construction forces as they attempted to put together the largest array of construction forces in NYC History.
