Description:
Two days after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Bill Moyers began interviewing people about the significance of what had happened. It may have seemed too soon for such reflection, yet one could make the case that thoughts expressed by Moyers's guests in the immediate aftermath entirely outclass the countless hours of news and analysis shows that followed. The interviews are vintage Moyers, who sits and quietly speaks one-on-one with such people as author Robert J. Lifton, Harvard religion professor Diana Eck, theatrical director Julie Taymor, and Afghan-American editor and writer Tamim Ansary (whose passionate explanatory e-mail about Afghanistan was widely circulated on the Internet soon after the attacks). People talk of good and evil, religion and mythology, heroism and humanity, all with a level of nuance never to be found on the cable network shoutfests. No one raises his or her voice, yet much of what is said will resonate in one's thoughts after the TV tube has grown cold. --Robert J. McNamara
