- Where Were You on 9-11?: We all have an interesting and unique story to tell about our experiences on September 11, 2001. Where were you when the catastrophic news hit the airwaves? What was in your head? Invite your reading, viewing and listening audiences to compare and share experiences with those of world renowned media personalities, authors, historians, and lawyers like Gerry Spence, Dr. Robert Schuller, and Sarah Ferguson.
- Keeping the Memory Alive: America's memory is at best, short-lived. Turn on TV, and surf channel after channel of breaking news stories that are reported every few minutes. Immediately after the events of 9/11, the world seemed to temporarily slow it's pace as people began to examine their lives and how they relate to their communities and world. Invite your viewing and listening audience to debate why it is important to keep the memory alive for future generations to come.
- Does God factor in?: Clearly, the hottest controversy is how the events of 9/11, the ongoing war against terrorism and how the shape of politics has made many question their faith. Were the attacks at the root cause of the problem given the disparity of Muslim and Christian beliefs? This argument stands alone as some choose politicial and religious sides, and others turn away altogether. Where do you stand? Are the events of 9/11 a wake-up call for non-beleivers living in a secular world? Are these the prophesized "end times?" A survey conducted in 5 boroughs of New York City found that 57% of the people were praying more, and 40% were reading their Bible once again. Or do we lie in the wake of our own doing - America's quest for world dominion?
- Top 10 Events That No One Can Forget: You know an event is really significant when you remember every detail - where you were, what you were doing, what you were thinking, who you were with - when you first found out the news. Your viewing, reading and listening audience will join in for a discussion of the top 10 events that etched themselves indelibly into the hearts of people everywhere. Top 10 events include: Assasination of John F. Kennedy; the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr; the landing on the moon; the attack on Pearl Harbor; Nixon's resignation; John Lennon assasination; O'J's infamous car chase; Beatle's first televised American appearance; Hiroshima bombed with nuclear weapons.
- Nations top lawyers speak about September 11th: Some say lawyers are nothing more than “hired guns” who can debate anything, yet feel strongly about nothing. But during, and after 9-11, our nation’s top attorney’s experienced powerful emotions - and provide articulate and poignant perspectives. Find out what Gerry Spence, Gloria Allred, Victoria Toensing, and other prominent attorneys personally experienced on 9-11, and how they perceive the post 9-11 world.
- Historians take on 9-11: It is the job of historians to discuss and write about world-changing events with an unemotional and objective perspective. However, the tragic events of 9-11 were so close and disturbing that many historians could not help but react emotionally. The full historical importance of the terrorist attacks is yet to be determined, but find out how renowned historian Shelley L, Davis responded to the events and what is being done to preserve the events of 9-11 historically.
- Sarah Ferguson speaks on 9-11: The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, like so many of us, experienced the loss of co-workers and loved ones during the terrorist attack. Her beloved charity, Chances for Children was housed on the 101st floor of One World Trade Center. In Reynolds’ anthology of interviews and personal impressions, she talks with “Fergie” - up close and personal.
- Health: In a post 9/11 world, few would argue that American citizens have suffered emotional, physical and mental health. As the eve of the 2nd anniversary draws near people continue to experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, alcoholism, depression and joblessness...even suicide. With an estimated 27% of people losing their jobs after the attacks and a steady decline in employment - has this nation begun to heal yet? How has this affected our well-being.
