Filmmaker and New York City resident Nina Davenport found herself in California on September 11, 2001. Watching the terrorist attacks unfold on television, Davenport grabbed a camera and spoke to as many strangers as she could find, creating a powerful film about the tragedy.

| "Parallel Lines" is a road movie, a tender, sometimes heartbreaking and often funny portrait of a country still reeling from 9/11. Davenport, a lifelong New Yorker, was in San Diego when the planes hit the World Trade Center. In fact, her apartment had a direct view of the towers. A few weeks later, she drives back to the East Coast -- too afraid to fly, and more than a little trepidatious to return -- asking people along the way what they think about 9/11. And boy do they have a lot to say, though it often has little to do with her question. Cowboys, kids, convenience store clerks and greasy spoon waitresses -- unforgettable people, still pretty raw, very ready to speak their minds and hearts and full of surprises. An extraordinarily moving document of what now, sadly, seems like a simpler, more innocent time and place -- a lost world. |
