## Caption

By 2010, construction of the "One World Trade Center" site stalled until a massive push from angry workers transformed Ground Zero into a symbol of resilience. From architect Michael Arad’s "Reflecting Absence" memorial and the underground museum guarding the original slurry wall to the Mohawk ironworkers guiding the final beam into place, witness the decade-long rebuilding of Lower Manhattan.

Explore the story of New York from the end of the 20th century through the first quarter of the 21st—one of the most dramatic, demanding, and transformational periods in the city’s history—in the two-part continuation of Ric Burns’ landmark series: "New York: A Documentary Film.”
 
Premiering Monday, September 21 and Tuesday, September 22 at 9pm on PBS (check local listings), pbs.org and the PBS App.
