While the towers burned and collapsed on September 11, 2001, a half million people were evacuated from Lower Manhattan by a civilian flotilla of ferries, tug boats and other vessels in what is now known as the largest boatlift in history.

The short film was executive produced by Stephen Flynn and Sean Burke and premiered on September 8, 2011 on the tenth anniversary of the attacks.
