Children of 9/11: Our Story

Channel 4, Monday, 9pm

To mark the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks next month, an intimate film made up of home video tells the life stories of six young people whose fathers were killed on that earthshattering day, either before they were born, or before they had a chance to meet.

They include a banker who had a meeting in the South Tower; a mechanic who was on a job in the North tower; a firefighter who lost his life saving others; a passenger on flight AA11; a military official working in the Pentagon; and a man from Yemen who died helping hotel guests evacuate.

The film explores how a figure they never knew and an event they didn’t witness have shaped these young people’s lives, and those of their families.
