Tornado: Lynne Sachs Film Reflection

After watching a few of Lynne Sachs' films, I've come to enjoy her film "Tornado" the most. Although it was not the most visually interesting film in her catalog, the message conveyed by her was touching. The film discusses the chaotic events of 9/11 and the events leading up to that day, reflecting on how the world changed in an instant and the immediate impact felt. While watching the film for the first time, I noticed a pair of hands holding a torn piece of paper with a calendar date showing September 8th, 2001. After she starts talking about 9/11, the message immediately clicked with me. There is a possibility that the piece of paper in the film was part of the actual wreckage from 9/11. Overall, I thought the film showcased a very tragic event in a completely new and original way, and I respect Lynne Sachs tremendously for her creativity
