September 11th, 2001. Images of that shocking tragedy are forever etched into our collective consciousness. And yet, on that very same day, a small island just 3,000 kilometers from Manhattan in the middle of the Atlantic gave voice to all that is good and generous during America's darkest hour. The citizens of Gander, Newfoundland welcomed 38 airliners with no place else to go and hosted the thousands of passengers who were strangers in a strange land. Gander shone as the beacon of hope in the wake of tragedy, welcoming strangers who left as life-long friends. An intimate talk with passengers and locals whose lives have been turned into a worldwide musical film to follow - September 11 only.
