Beyond Belief (2007)

#129 This was a very moving and well done documentary. It follows the lives of two widows who lost their husbands on 9/11. They meet and become friends and decide to make a difference in the lives of widows living in Afghanistan.  I found myself in tears more than once, both because of the tragedy that no woman should have to go through, and also because of the strength of these two women.  Their commitment, especially during their own grief, to helping women who have lost their husbands on the other side of the world, was very touching to me.  This was most definitely worth watching. It was especially emotional to me I think because we are nearing the 10 year anniversary of that day that changed everything.  10 years ago around this time I had just gotten back from my first ever trip to NYC, and we had a whole role of film that my husband took when he visited the World Trade Center.  So many memories of that year for me, that I think its going to be hard to watch stuff like this.  However, I absolutely recommend it.
