The Brian
Lehrer Show
11:30am on WNYC 93.9 FM and AM 820
There are huge changes underway in the relationship between the American
people and the US government; between America and the world; between major
religions. The economy, the constitution, and our public as well as private
priorities, as we previously understood them, have all been rocked, undermined,
and thrown into chaos - not to mention the changes and challenges for
New York as a city. WNYCs Brian Lehrer Show will explore such issues
of concern a year after September 11th and hear from WNYCs listeners,
as New Yorkers struggle to make sense of our new reality.

WNYC Documentary "Changed
New York"

Read
Even as New York begins to rebuild after 9/11, there remains a deep sense
of loss in the city. How are New Yorkers coping with their loss, whether
it is the death of a loved one, the loss of faith, or the loss of a sense
of security? This documentary presents stories of people whose lives have
changed dramatically as they cope with the lasting impact of the attack:
the family of a Long Island woman who died in the World Trade Center still
trying to make sense of her death; formerly unconnected neighbors who
have found a new sense of community; people who have considered extraordinary
measures to protect themselves because they fear another attack; NYPD
911 operators who were working on that day, and have discovered a new
appreciation for life; a romance that began at Ground Zero. The documentary
reveals the inner landscape of people's emotions and how 9/11 has impacted
values, family, work, political views, spirituality, and community. Listeners
will find elements of their own responses to 9/11 in the stories they
hear.
