A PBS special on the efforts to decide the future of Ground Zero airs tonight.
"The producers of America Rebuilds had greater access to Ground Zero than any other filmmakers. What they saw, and what they show us, is how a group of very different personalities worked together to transform an unfathomable mountain of smoking debris into a clean and orderly construction site, months ahead of schedule. In documenting that achievement, and the first steps toward reconstruction, America Rebuilds offers a compelling portrait of inventiveness and resolve."
