An American Quilt: Stitching Together our 911 Memories - Documentary short

An American Quilt- Stitching Together our 9/11 Memories is a documentary that Director Roz Sohnen began in early 2002 after the tragedy of September 11th. It tells the stories of seven families, among the many, who lost loved ones on 9/11 and dealt with their grief by creating memorial quilt panels. ​This film is about family, love, loss, courage and how creating art provided us with a window into the lives lost. It was also a labor of love, working on a shoestring budget, sharing what we learned about the lives of ordinary people coping with extraordinary circumstances and refusing to remain powerless. ​Included are interviews with Jan Seidler Ramirez, Chief Curator of the September11th Memorial & Museum in NYC, and Dr. Gail Saltz, a psychiatrist, also in NYC, who explains how creating art helps in the healing process. ​Tickets are $12 in advance, $14 at the door. email summitfilm@gmail.com to reserve advance tix
