Additional Info: The film was the PBS national prime time special in commemoration of the seventh anniversary of 9/11. With narration by Frank Langella and music by Philip Glass, Objects and Memory invites viewers to consider what they value most, and how we form communities across time.
Simple objects recovered from Ground Zero—ID cards, keys, a firefighter’s helmet—become resonant conveyors of meaning through their connection to the traumatic event. When returned to the family members of victims, these ordinary objects help them renew connections with loved ones and find healing from their loss. In offerings left at memorial sites, everyday items such as teddy bears, work boots, artwork, and insignia patches express empathy and evoke shared recollections of emotional experiences.
