Rating: Summary: OK Review: Another person said this and I agree. Most of the video is AFTER Sept 11. Not during. I hate to watch graphic violence especially real life violence but I was hoping CNN would truly show what happened, like they did on September 11, 2001.I was a little disappointed, especially since they showed a little too much on the actual day and not enough on the video. Good enough for the buy, but not enough compared to other videos out there.

Rating: Summary: Beautiful DVD about a horrible event Review: CNN did an amazing job with this DVD. This topic is not an easy one to work with, but they pulled it off beautifully. They took very sensitive footage and turned it into a piece that not only recounts that day, but that honors those who lost their lives and those who helped save thousands of lives on that horrible day. I am glad I bought this DVD - each time I watch this it helps me appreciate life and makes me love America even more.
Rating: Summary: Powerful Documentary, Beautifully Done Review: CNN has done an amazing job with this DVD. It is respectful, tasteful, and most of all, honors those who were killed in the Attack on America. I am a producer of live stage shows and watched this for possible use in an upcoming 9/11 memorial service. I sat in my office and relived the events of one year ago...and found myself in tears many times. Well done, CNN. God bless America!
Rating: Summary: A Moving Account Of History Review: CNN has outdone itself. The events of September 11, 2001 and the events following, from the country mourning to anthrax, are all chronicled here. What's remarkable about this production is how they made the news so personal and touching. They didn't just take footage from actual broadcasts but managed to choose the most poignant clips then interspersed these clips with personal accounts from the people reporting the news. What was presented in this DVD was MY experience of September 11th. It was a day spent in front of the TV feeling shocked, sad and angry as I watched events unfold. I felt those feelings again and found myself in tears yet again. While other productions have done a good job of showing us the personal tragedy of September 11th, none can compare to capturing what it was like for most Americans. Every American family should own this DVD so that we will truly never forget what it was like that day. Congratulations CNN.

Rating: Summary: Fantastic! A 6th Star. Review: CNN has produced the most comprehensive presentation of the horror, emotions, human drama of 9-11. This 90 minute video has some of the most incredible video and commentary as well as President Bush's complete address to the Congress and the American people. This is a must for all American's.
Rating: Summary: Pretty Good! Review: CNN Tribute - America remembers clearly shows all the horrific events which took place on September 11. If youve been up to date with CNN during the events which occured on September 11, then this documenatary will repetetive.
Rating: Summary: BEST DOCUMENT PRODUCED ON THE EVENTS OF 9/11 Review: CNN's DVD "America Remembers" is without a doubt the best document produced thus far on the events of September 11th, 2001. There should be copies in every school library across the country to remember the events of this day in the United States. The story begins, of course, in the CNN newsroom and the first airline crash in the north tower of the World Trade Center. The rest of the DVD is an incredible and very detailed timeline regarding the other plane crashes (in NYC, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.), the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, the evacuation of various buildings in D.C., President Bush's story on that day, the days following 9/11 including the president's speeches, the buildup to war in Afghanistan in subsequent months, and even the threat of Anthrax in the United States. If you must witness this story again, especially on the anniversary of 9/11, it might as well be thorough and accurate. This is the production to see.
Rating: Summary: Good, but not great. Review: Excellent footage of the attacks, but I was hoping for a play by play of what was happening jjust before and the initial shock. They did NOT have a detailed initial interruption of the first plane hitting. I wanted to see regular expressions of the anchors to the surprise look at 8:46am. I was hoping for more of the actual day than the aftermath of the attacks. This is a PG rating of what they really showed on Septemeber 11. I was home on September 11 and saw the graphic violence that went on and this tape really doesn't cover it. Good, but not enough of what really went on.
