The Falling Man is a documentary that examines one of the many images
that were circulated by the press immediately after the attacks on the
World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. The image in question can be
seen above on the cover of the disc. It shows a man plummeting
headfirst to the ground, having lea pt from the burning towers. After
touching on the events of the day and how the nation reacted, the
program focuses specifically on this image, the photographer who took
it, its subsequent circulation, the public's reaction to it and why it
was later deemed UN-newsworthy.
