Description
Photojournalist and filmmaker Andrea Booher was one of only two photographers allowed unlimited 24-hour access to Ground Zero in the days after the September 11th attacks. The two-hour A&E special Portraits from Ground Zero features the subjects of Booher’s harrowing photographs including a firefighter searching for the body of his lifelong friend; a teenage girl mourning her stepfather; a Franciscan friar ministering to the dead; and the future FDNY Chief of Department worrying about a potential building collapse. Booher uses the battered green notebook she carried at the Trade Center to track down the people in nearly a dozen of her most powerful pictures, and gets them to tell, for the first time, the riveting personal stories behind the photographs.

Portraits from Ground Zero
On 9/11, photo-journalist & filmmaker, Andrea Booher, was designated by Mayor Guliani as one of the only two photographers allowed unlimited, 24 hour access. She was assigned to the Urban Search & Rescue teams, whose only mission was to find survivors. At the World Trade Center, Andrea kept a small green diary where she wrote the name and contact information of every responder that she met or photographed. Together, they crawled into voids, up stories of debris and down crevasses hundreds of feet deep. She shot over 9,000 images and collected over 40 hours of raw, unedited footage.
