"I never planned to be a part of history that day,"
"But when the world changed, I was standing in the middle of it."
"I didn't know what I was recording,"
"Not just to remember what happened, but to honor the people who lived it, the ones we lost, and the strength that came after."
Paul smelled thick, dark smoke and arrived at Ground Zero three days after September 11, 2001 as a first responder with a camera. A longtime Theatrical Teamster with production experience, Paul found the scene raw and unvarnished rather than staged. He filmed five hours and shot over 300 photos of first responders, ash-covered survivors searching for loved ones, and the silent void where the towers had stood. He did not record for profit or fame and kept the material private for more than two decades. He now plans a release timed with the 25th anniversary to honor victims and resilience.
