Nice Short on “Remembering 9/11” (Sort Of)
By Debbie Schlussel
The other day I watched a special of very short films starring Black actors or made by Black filmmakers. This one, “Date”, by liberal moviemaker Eva Saks, falls in the former category, and I thought it was good on many levels in putting our lives in the proper perspective to what happened on that fateful day seven years ago.
Still, it’s missing any reference to that major thing so many 9/11 movies miss: the “who”–as in the “who” that perpetrated it: Islamic terrorists. Still it’s very good. I liked it a lot and think you will, too. It’s just under three minutes until the credits.
Good stuff, Debbie! Thanks for posting, especially on today. It reminded me that my own problems pale in comparison to what others have faced and are facing as a result of that terrible day.
May we always be vigilant…..
