The film depicts in virtually real time the New York-based events of the September 11 attacks primarily using raw video footage from mostly amateur citizen journalists. The documentary is accompanied by an 18-minute documentary short called I-Witness to 9/11, which features interviews with nine firsthand eyewitnesses who captured the video footage on camera.

Journalist Nicholas Kristof | Facing History and Ourselves - 0 views

  • In your opinion, what is the most effective way to teach compassion? Or is it even teachable? I would agree the first step is to expose people to the truth which they otherwise would not know. However, is it enough? How do we get people to go beyond sentiments? And when they do act, how can they realize that they should not only help victims, but also look into the cause of that injustice, and try to eliminate that cause? What should be the core elements of a humane education? What can end the sufferings and atrocities of this world? Coming from a nation that was troubled by civil wars and foreign invasions for thousands of years, these are the questions I constantly ask myself. I would appreciate it if you could shed light on them with your insight.
  • I also think that the best way to build compassion is to get students to encounter suffering directly in ways that make it real. That means getting students out of the classroom to prisons or poor neighborhoods, or at least into encounters with real people who put a human face on various problems. This is one reason why I’m a huge fan of getting students to travel abroad

    "From March 21 through April 1, 2011, over 500 educators from around the world are participating in an online workshop hosted by Facing History and Ourselves, entitled "Teaching Reporter in the Classroom." The workshop explores the themes and stories from the documentary Reporter, which follows New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof on a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the film, we learn how Kristof works to get his readers to "care about what happens on the other side of the hill." We see how Kristof uses social science research and the tools of journalism to try to expand his readers' universe of responsibility - the people whom they feel obligated to care for and protect."
