Hotel Ground Zero

Hotel Ground Zero tells the story of the forgotten tragedy of September 11, 2001. When the Twin Towers collapsed in the infamous terrorist attack, the Marriott World Trade Center, located directly below them, was destroyed as well. The documentary provides an intimate and personal look at the events of that morning, featuring eyewitness accounts from survivors who were fortunate enough to escape the hotel’s collapse.

By 2002, the last remains of the hotel had been removed, and it has not been rebuilt or included in the 9/11 memorial. As a result, Hotel Ground Zero feels more crucial than ever, telling a gripping, life-or-death story that might otherwise have faded along with the hotel itself. With its painfully human perspective on the events of September 11, the film is an honest and unflinching examination of hope, survival and courage.
