What 16 Acres Is About

The documentary is about the rebuilding of the site of the twin towers in New York after the eleventh of September. On sixteen acres the city, the state, the leaseholder, the architects, the insurers and the families of the dead all wanted a say at once, and what came out of it was ten years of conflict. The film tells that process from inside: how decisions were taken, what was delayed and why, and who gained what. The account does not turn the construction into a story of heroism; it writes down plainly the part played by politics and by money. Richard Hankin’s ninety five minute American documentary was completed in 2012.
