NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On September 11, 2001, producer Jacki Ochs, who lived blocks from the Twin Towers, was forced to evacuate her family. Days later, director Susanna Styron began volunteering at
Ground Zero. The following year, as the site closed and the city and country moved on, the two filmmakers felt compelled to address the ongoing trauma by telling a story of hope and resilience. This became the acclaimed documentary film 9/12: FROM CHAOS TO COMMUNITY, which we now offer free to stream in honor of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.9/12 tells the story of dedicated New Yorkers who volunteer at Ground Zero and form unexpected -- even unlikely -- bonds with first responders and with each other. Through their stories, we present a portrait of the city within a city that was Ground Zero, and examine how a diverse group of people transcended politics and culture in an effort to heal their city and themselves.
On Sunday September 6, the film will be featured on TOM FONTANA PRESENTS the Substack spotlighting curated works by the creator of the TV series OZ and HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREETS.
9/12: FROM CHAOS TO COMMUNITY is free to stream in perpetuity. Please watch and share with everyone.
PRAISE FOR 9/12: FROM CHAOS TO COMMUNITY
“I am especially grateful to the filmmakers for capturing so poignantly and accurately the shared feelings of awe, camaraderie, loss, and love that brought everyday people together in our city's greatest time of need.”
-- Steve Buscemi, actor, former firefighter
“It’s about Ground Zero, but more broadly it’s about the extraordinary sense of solidarity, fellow-feeling, and, yes, patriotism that was experienced by nearly everyone in New York, and maybe everyone in the country, in the days and weeks after the attack. This is a moving picture in more ways than one. The milk of human kindness flows through it, mixed with tears.”
-- Hendrik Hertzberg, The New Yorker
"... a poem to a group of everyday New Yorkers who discover in themselves a quiet greatness born from the darkness of 9/11."
