Telling Nicholas

This documentary takes place in the two weeks following the World Trade Center disaster. By the end of it I was bawling. I couldn't even tell my husband the plot because it would start me crying again. The openness of this family to allow a video crew to document the worst moment of their lives is just astounding.

It was a bit hard to follow who all the characters were, and I *hated* how the director kept showing the gaping holes in the towers over and over and over again. That part felt very tacky and exploitive.

But through this documentary, you get to actually see how one family copes with the sudden loss of their family member. I think it brings home some of the events you didn't see on TV on 9/11. The actual people and how it has effected their lives forever.

If you choose to watch it, be prepared for extremely emotional scenes. I would not recommend this for young children.
