HISTORY Remembers 9/11 On Its Tenth Anniversary Powerful Documentaries Set to Premiere Including a Follow up to the Emmy Award Winning 102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED AMERICA: 9/11 THE DAYS AFTER

102 MINUTES to Simulcast on HISTORY throughout the World

HISTORY Partners with the 9/11 Memorial and Museum

As the world prepares to commemorate the 10th anniversary the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, HISTORY will remember as well with a powerful and poignant lineup of 9/11 documentaries, a global simulcast and a partnership with the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Over the last ten years, HISTORY has made it its mission to never forget, and to honor those who perished, and those who lived, and those who work tirelessly every day to keep the flame of 9-11 alive - and to never lose site of the memory of that day and how it changed this nation forever. In addition to the powerful Emmy Award winning 102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED AMERICA, HISTORY has amassed over 20 hours of programming relating to the day's events, exploring from every angle.

"We at HISTORY pride ourselves on covering critical moments of American history. As the archivist and arbiter of all things history, we are continuing our coverage of one of the most significant moments in our lifetime," said Nancy Dubuc, President & General Manager, HISTORY. "Through the years, we have presented more than 20 hours of 9/11-related programming. It is and always has been our goal to see that this horrific day is never forgotten as we preserve its critically important legacy."

To kick off the truly worldwide commemoration, HISTORY will simulcast 102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED THE AMERICA globally on September 11th starting at 8:46AM ET in the over 150 countries on HISTORY (and reaching 250 million households).

HISTORY will premiere 9/11: THE DAYS AFTER, commercial free, on Friday, September 9, 9pmET/PT. Examining the legacy of that tragic day on which terrorist hijackers crashed planes into New York's Twin Towers, 9/11: THE DAYS AFTER is the follow-up film from the makers of 102 MINUTES THAT CHANGED AMERICA.
Telling the story exclusively through archival audiovisual materials collected from more than 400 sources, footage shot by professional news media and amateurs alike, 9/11: THE DAYS AFTER takes an authentic, unflinchingly honest look at what happened after the tragedy. It is a chronicle of life in a changed city, a changed country, a changed world.

9/11: THE DAYS AFTER examines the texture of life in the post-9/11 world, extending the story beyond the search for survivors, beyond the hunt for Osama bin Laden, beyond implementation of new airport and anti-terrorism security measures. It focuses on nuanced and oft-forgotten consequences: of a run on guns, bottled water, gas masks and cash; of Ground Zero becoming the biggest tourist destination in America; of Arab racial profiling and hate crimes; of false alarms across the country; of an enlistment surge into the Armed Forces; of 9/11-related illnesses among residents and first responders. Vast changes were spawned by 9/11 ― politically, culturally, sociologically, psychologically ― yet so much about how we live our lives today remains the same. 9/11: THE DAYS AFTER addresses the impact in a way no one has before.

HISTORY also will present the riveting VOICES FROM INSIDE THE TOWERS on Saturday, September 10, 9pm ET/PT, a film documenting dozens of harrowing, heartbreaking stories of love and loss on 9/11. There is no video record of what happened inside the World Trade Center buildings during the 102 chaotic minutes before the towers were reduced to rubble. But VOICES FROM INSIDE THE TOWERS uses an abundance of audio records, such as recorded phone calls from people inside the buildings as they contacted family members, friends, 911 dispatchers and local media, to provide a chillingly clear mental picture.

Finally, on Sunday, September 11, 8pm ET/PT, HISTORY will premiere THE MAKING OF THE 9/11 MEMORIAL a behind-the-scenes insider's view of the making of the Memorial, from its brainchild idea to on-site installation.

In addition to the programming, HISTORY is engaging in an in depth educational and public affairs outreach campaign which will include.

A Partnership with the 9/11 Memorial and Museum to share content and provide information about their resources before and after the Memorial opens to the public in Fall 2011 and the Museum opens in 2012. HISTORY is producing short form video pieces for the Museum's exhibition space, focused on some of the museum's artifacts and with oral histories from curators and 9/11 family members.

On Saturday, September 10th, HISTORY will webcast the dedication of the Flight 93 Memorial live on History.com/Classroom.

Partnerships with the September 11th Education Trust and the Tribute WTC Visitor Center will provide additional support and curriculum for teachers and general audiences. HISTORY has worked with both groups for several years to share their content and provide teachers and students with civic and history education resources for teaching 9/11.

HISTORY will provide teacher's guides and family viewing guides for on-air programming including The Making of the Memorial, as well as previously aired programs including 102 Minutes, The World Trade Center: Rise and Fall of an American Icon, and Relics from the Rubble which will air during our commercial-free Classroom programming hour in August and September. These educator's guides provide context and resources to help students learn about the events of 9/11.

HISTORY will also provide information to the public about how to save and preserve photos, artifacts, and cherished personal items from 9/11. One valued partner is The New York State Archives Partnership Trust which has developed useful preservation tips.
