"CNN's DVD "America Remembers" is without a doubt the best document produced thus far on the events of September 11th, 2001. There should be copies in every school library across the country to remember the events of this day in the United States.The story begins, of course, in the CNN newsroom and the first airline crash in the north tower of the World Trade Center. The rest of the DVD is an incredible and very detailed timeline regarding the other plane crashes (in NYC, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.), the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, the evacuation of various buildings in D.C., President Bush's story on that day, the days following 9/11 including the president's speeches, the buildup to war in Afghanistan in subsequent months, and even the threat of Anthrax in the United States.If you must witness this story again, especially on the anniversary of 9/11, it might as well be thorough and accurate. This is the production to see."

Fantastic! A 6th Star.

"CNN has produced the most comprehensive presentation of the horror, emotions, human drama of 9-11. This 90 minute video has some of the most incredible video and commentary as well as President Bush's complete address to the Congress and the American people. This is a must for all American's."

Incredible presentation.

"This DVD is a must! It recounts not only the dreadful events of Sept. 11 via incredible, vivid footage rarely seen before, but also covers the events of the subsequent year and America's response to terrorism. It includes footage of the President's response to the news on that day as well as his trek across America, the war in Kabul and the search for bin Laden, the anthrax scare, it even has a bonus feature: The now-famous speech given by President Bush in front of Congress, completely unedited and in incredible video quality. The footage is unequalled throughout and puts the viewer right in the middle of the action. Various interviews with key CNN anchors and personnel add a nice touch and presents many of the familiar faces that we see on the news in a very personal and emotional context. Sadly, people tend to forget what is not continually in front of their eyes. I think every American should purchase videos like these so that we truly may 'NEVER FORGET' what happened on American soil that day. Respectful, tastefully presented, an outstanding presentation."

A Moving Account Of History

"CNN has outdone itself. The events of September 11, 2001 and the events following, from the country mourning to anthrax, are all chronicled here. What's remarkable about this production is how they made the news so personal and touching. They didn't just take footage from actual broadcasts but managed to choose the most poignant clips then interspersed these clips with personal accounts from the people reporting the news. What was presented in this DVD was MY experience of September 11th. It was a day spent in front of the TV feeling shocked, sad and angry as I watched events unfold. I felt those feelings again and found myself in tears yet again. While other productions have done a good job of showing us the personal tragedy of September 11th, none can compare to capturing what it was like for most Americans. Every American family should own this DVD so that we will truly never forget what it was like that day. Congratulations CNN."
