A still from the ICI film, "We Watch the City: Stories in the Shadow of 9/11," shows the Manhattan skyline backlit by the sun. The New York skyscrapers are in shadow, providing a backdrop for the phrase, "Stories in the Shadow of 9/11." A "play" arrow and other icons show that this is part of a film clip.

Remembering 9/11

“You can’t take down America. And you can’t take down people with disabilities in America.”

As we mark the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, We Watch the City: Stories in the Shadow of 9/11 reminds us of the strength, resilience, and humanity of New Yorkers with developmental disabilities, and the people who supported them in the aftermath.
