George H.W. Bush Presidential Library & Museum, Malek Theater

College Station, TX

Join us for a screening of The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11: From Tragedy to Triumph, a powerful documentary narrated by acclaimed actor Gary Sinise.

Produced by Gier Productions in collaboration with SoldierStrong and directed by award-winning filmmaker Michael Gier, this moving film goes beyond the events of September 11, 2001, to highlight the extraordinary acts of courage, compassion, and resilience that emerged in the aftermath of tragedy.

The documentary features firsthand accounts from first responders, survivors, and ordinary citizens who became extraordinary heroes, as well as insights from former Secretary of Transportation to President George H.W. Bush and former White House Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush Andy Card, who was with President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001. Together, these powerful perspectives honor the selflessness and bravery that defined a generation.

Featuring real-life testimonies, archival footage, and dramatic reenactments, The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11 serves not only as a tribute to those we lost, but also as a celebration of the enduring American spirit. It is an inspiring story of hope, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, courage, unity, and compassion can light the way forward.

*Admission is free. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will have two screenings that day: the first will begin at 11 a.m. and the second will begin at 2 p.m.
