Dust to Dust: The Health Effects of 9/11 (2006)
Every American should see this movie
This is not a witty, fun-yet-scathing documentary like one of Michael Moore's, but its content speaks for itself. The implications of the facts stated in this film are extraordinary. Every American, no matter what their opinion of the origins and aftermath of 9/11, should see this film and think about how the men and women who rushed unquestioning to our rescue, the men and women who have been publicly lauded by the administration as American heroes, are being allowed to die without help or acknowledgement because of the dust to which they were unnecessarily exposed. This film will enrage you and blow your mind.

This is a beautiful film. Watching it now as an adult I understand that there may have been some question of abuse. How can a little child know the difference between what's real and what's not to such an extent? It is truly moving to watch her cry in the prayer scene. Whatever your thoughts about whether or not this child should have been directed to perform this role, you cannot deny that it is a profoundly affecting portrait of childhood grief. A lot of people have complained that the ending is not conclusive enough, but I for one thought it was perfect. In life, things aren't usually wrapped up in a neat little package. All the actors in this film - especially the children - do an amazing job. One of my favorite films for many years.
