Captivating. Very appropriate application (and removal of) scoring, brilliant editing of the documentary interviews. Most: the overall flow describes a sweep, an arc of emotion and thoughtfulness that can only be described as absolutely human. Too often, shorter news holes cause a preemption of how feelings progress over time. In "Stories of September Eleventh", Scott Gurian is patient, and brings out something deeper. Well worth the wait. Bravo.
