THIRTEEN REMEMBERS
Programs in September 2002 on Thirteen/WNET New York
Commemorating the First Anniversary of September 11
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3
7-8 p.m. THE NEWSHOUR WITH JIM LEHRER -- THE NEWSHOUR will produce nearly two weeks of programming with one central theme: How has America changed, and in response to, the attacks and their aftermath? Coverage begins tonight and continues through Friday, September 13. Correspondents Gwen Ifill, Ray Suarez, and Margaret Warner will conduct on-location conversations, Jim Lehrer will conduct in-studio interviews with leaders of the administration and Congress, and updates on previously reported stories are some of the special segments planned.
9-11 p.m. FRONTLINE: FAITH AND DOUBT AT GROUND ZERO -- The site of the World Trade Center as a place of spiritual pilgrimage and meditation for thousands is explored in this episode. How did the disaster strengthen, weaken, and focus the beliefs (and doubts) of many? And how does the carnage reveal the dark side of religion and the concepts of good and evil? On-site interviews and commentary explore these issues. (Premiere) (FB: 9/11, 8-10 p.m.)

8-9 p.m. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SPECIALS: AMBASSADOR: UNDER FIRE OVERSEAS -- This special goes behind the embassy walls in Japan, Pakistan, Guatemala, and interviews more than a dozen diplomats -- including Secretary of State Colin L. Powell -- to reveal the delicate art of diplomacy, particularly amidst post-9/11 jitters worldwide. (Premiere)
10-11 p.m. CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE: ARAB AMERICANS IN WARTIME -- Like many ethnic Americans, Arab-Americans feel as American as anyone else, and were equally horrified by the events of 9/11. Nonetheless, as this documentary reveals, for many, the past year has placed their sense of identity at odds -- particularly in a social climate that is increasingly wary of them. (Premiere)
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5
10-11 p.m. NEW YORK VOICES: LESSONS OF SEPTEMBER: ONE SCHOOL REMEMBERS 9/11 -- The Brooklyn Polytechnic Preparatory School (PolyPrep) lost 11 alumni on 9/11.

2:30-3 p.m. KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY: 9/11: IT'S NOT OVER -- Several children, ages eight to 18, speak with a doctor and social worker in New York about the emotional impact of 9/11 -- an event that has made them feel that an unsure world is more dangerous than ever.

9-10 p.m. NOW with BILL MOYERS -- This now-weekly discussion program was a direct outgrowth of the immediate original programming Thirteen/WNET produced in the hours, days, and weeks after the planes struck on September 11.

(Premiere) (FB: 9/9 12 mid-2 a.m.)
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9
8-9 p.m. HEROES OF GROUND ZERO -- Documents the aftermath of September 11 for those who were among the hardest hit -- New York's firefighters, who lost 343 of their own at the World Trade Center.

(Premiere) (FB: 9/10 12:30-1:30 a.m.)
9-10 p.m. SEEN BUT NOT HEARD -- Follows the stories of four Mexican women and their families whose undocumented husbands and partners died on 9/11.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
8-9 p.m. NOVA: WHY THE TOWERS FELL -- How could steel structures of such size and strength as the towers of the World Trade Center be reduced to a 150-foot pile of rubble? NOVA follows a team of forensic engineers during an investigation of the twin towers' collapse. (Encore)
9-10 p.m. STRANDED YANKS -- Immediately following the events of 9/11, 252 international flights carrying nearly 44,000 dazed and frightened passengers -- mostly Americans traveling home from different locales -- were stranded in Canada for five days. What began as a frightening and frustrating experience evolved, for many, into heartwarming stories of hope, unity, and compassion. (Premiere)
