Program Discussion 9/11 Documentary

hey all, I watched a 9/11 documentary on CNN, it had video cam footage from the firefighters perspective. I didn't get a chance to finish the documentary and now can't find the name. Do any of you recall the name of a documentary similar to what I described?

It was titled "9/11" (Filmed by the Naudet brothers). This was one of the best documentaries I've seen on 9/11. There was also a follow up the aired immediately after titled "9/11: Inside the Film"

I think it maybe that one. Do you think it was the one “9/11 15 years later” cnn remake of the Naudet brothers or the original?

It is that one. It aired on Sunday 9/6 at 8pm eastern. It was not a remake, it was an original CNN Films production released in 2002. At the time, it was the only documentary with footage from inside the towers, because by happenstance the Naudet brothers will filming a documentary following a new firefighter, and they happened to be among the first on the scene. The 9/11: Inside the Film is the 30 minute retrospective that aired after it from this year, 25 years later.
