HBO, Spike Lee Plan New York Doco Series

Spike Lee and HBO are teaming to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11 with a multi-part documentary chronicling how New York has survived in the two decades.

Titled “NYC Epicenters 9/11 -> 2021 1/2,” the project will offer a portrait of New Yorkers as they rebuild and rebound, whether from the terrorist attacks or 2001 or the coronavirus pandemic of the past year.

Blending first -hand accounts of people from all walks of life, over 200 interviews, and a “staggering amount of visual imagery” according to the network, Lee will assemble the work which will air on HBO and stream on HBO Max later this year.

Lee has previously directed “4 Little Girls,” “When the Levees Broke,” and most recently “David Byrne’s American Utopia” for HBO.
