Dust to Dust: The Health Effects of 9/11

The aftermath of the 9/11 attacks continues to take a devastating toll on American lives five years later, with the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings releasing toxic substances into the air, posing a deadly threat to survivors.

The film "Dust to Dust" examines the devastating health effects on first responders who were exposed to toxic materials at the World Trade Center site after 9/11. Despite initial assurances from the Environmental Protection Agency that the air was safe, many emergency responders have developed severe respiratory problems, cancer, and other illnesses. The film features interviews with scientists, EPA officials, and the affected heroes, exploring the crisis and their struggle to receive medical treatment and financial support.
