- Description
- Explore the history of 9/11 and the birth of Homeland Security, tracing how the tragedy reshaped national policy forever.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge was at the center of a national crisis. As Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Ridge coordinated the state's response while the country watched in shock. This documentary examines how that single event led President Bush to appoint him to lead the newly formed Office of Homeland Security, marking a pivotal shift in American security policy.
Through firsthand memories from his wife, Michele Ridge, and the colleagues who served alongside him, we trace the personal and political impact of that era. This is an essential look at how one leader's experience during the 9/11 response defined the years that followed.
