"9/12: From Chaos to Community" Goes Viral On YouTube -- Over 1 MILLION Views And Counting
(PRLEAP.COM) The trailer for Eleventh Hour Films’ documentary, "9/12: From Chaos to Community" was selected by the YouTube Team for YouTube’s home page, on September 11th and continues to surpass all records set for independent film. Initially the Editor’s Pick in the News and Politics Category, within three hours it went straight to the home page to become You Tube’s #1 Featured Video for the next three days.
Unprecedented for a documentary, this intimate and vivid portrait of real life at Ground Zero has racked up more views than Michael Moore’s Sicko Trailer, Fox Cutting Off Sally Field’s Anti-War Speech at the Emmys and Kanye West’s Education PSA combined. It is in the top 69 Most Viewed (All Time) Videos in the News & Politics Category and the top 58 of Recently Featured Videos on All of YouTube.
The people have spoken — over 1.4 million people have viewed the trailer, driving thousands of visitors to the film’s website, www.912film.com.
An inspiring look at the volunteer response in New York City after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the film is described by Davis Guggenheim, Academy Award winning director of An Inconvenient Truth, as "A poem to a group of everyday New Yorkers who discover in themselves a quiet greatness born from the darkness of 9/11."
The thousands of comments, ongoing dialogue and visitors to the "9/12" website are a testament to the scrappy group of New York City residents who surmounted tremendous obstacles in order to contribute to the recovery effort. Today they are facing unknown consequences of their selfless acts.
The DVD is available for purchase for educational and community groups as well as home video use at http://912film.com/912-dvd.php. There’s also a discussion guide available for free download on the website.
As Campaign ‘08 grinds on, with candidates jousting to own some piece of this tragic event, it’s important that voters keep in mind who the real heroes of 9/11 actually are.
Pass it on.
