The Second Day: Impact of 9/11 on Youth

Brook Peters, a fourteen-year-old filmmaker, recently showed his documentary of 9/11 at the Tribeca Film Festival. Entitled “The Second Day,” the film captures the memories of what fellow classmates recall of their second day of kindergarten, 9/11/2001. Brook Peters’ film illustrates how 9/11 has particularly impacted the Millennial generation, those born from 1980 to 2000.
