7 Days in September

"7 Days in September" brought a new sense of perspective that I was not used to seeing.  When I think of 9/11 I think of the news coverage and the shot of the World Trade Centers smoking.  This film really shows how devastating the effects of the crashes were from the ground up.  The scene that stuck with me was the argument between the American Muslim women and the New Yorker outside the Mosque.  The New Yorker was devastated from 9/11 and took it out on an innocent Muslim simply because she shared the same religion as the terrorists.  After thinking about this conversation, I realized that I probably would have reacted the same way.  If I saw my friends and fellow citizens of New York suffer and die because of religious fanatics I would have had the same type of anger as the New Yorker.  I wouldn't have the same feeling now but at the time it was acceptable.
