Academy Award winner Spike Lee and HBO Documentary Films are prepping a multi-part documentary titled NYC Epicenters 9/11-2021½. The documentary is set to follow,
“an epic chronicle of life, loss, and survival in the city of New York over the twenty years since the September 11th attacks,”
It will also focus on the ways New Yorkers have persevered since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Lee released the following statement about the documentary event, which will debut later this year on HBO and HBO Max to commemorate the September 11 attacks:
As a New Yawker who bleeds orange and blue (the colors of New York City), I’m proud to have a ‘Spike Lee Joint’ about how our/my city dealt with being the epicenters of 9/11 and COVID-19. With over 200 interviews, we dig deep into what makes NYC the greatest city on this God’s earth and also the diverse citizens who make it so. Over centuries pundits and straight haters have proclaimed NYC was dead and stinkin’, only to be proved wrong. You will lose ya money betting against New York, New York. And dat’s da truth, Ruth. Be Safe. Peace And Love – Spike Lee, Da People’s Republic Of Brooklyn
