Filmmaker Amy Schatz has carved a specialized documentary career out of seeing dramatic, newsworthy, historical events through the eyes of young people, in such emotional, informative and inspiring programs as
Song of Parkland and
The Number on Great-Grandpa’s Arm. Tonight, on the 18
thanniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, she directs and produces a new documentary, focusing on students at Stuyvesant, the specialized high school located only blocks from the World Trade Center. Students are interviewed about what they saw, felt and lived through – as well as their emotions almost two decades later.
