We Are Family (2001)

In a true display of togetherness, 200 artists, public figures, athletes, and police workers united to remake the classic song "We Are Family" eleven days following the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. Well-known music producer Nile Rodgers covered the song's production while filmmaker Danny Schechter documented the effort. Notable contributors included Spike Lee--whose direction helped make the music video possible--and a host of legendary performers such as Dionne Warwick, Eartha Kitt, Diana Ross, Bernadette Peters, Pattie LaBelle, and more. The stars appear here in a natural light, with the focus being on the victims of the attacks (whose families also appear in the film) rather than on make-up or appearance.
