From the Ground Up

Longtime filmmakers, as well as longtime locals, Beth and George Gage (Mountainfilm 2011, Bidder 70) traveled to New York City to tell the story of several women who lost their husbands on September 11, 2001. The film shows how these widows, many of them married to firefighters, have moved forward with their lives bravely and the best they can in the ten years since that hellish day. And while their loss endures, they have also invested themselves in a range of causes–from autism to a race for firefighters–and done so in a way that is deeply impressive.
