Faced with an attack on the United States of unprecedented scope and brutality, how did government leaders respond on 9/11?  How do these leaders look back on their decisions years later?  These questions form the core of a film the 9/11 Memorial Museum is producing for exclusive screening in the museum’s auditorium. 

From an interview with museum director of education and programs, Clifford Chanin, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani remembers the day and the challenges he faced when he learned that the senior leadership of the fire department had been decimated. Additional interviews in the series will feature President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
