 One of the more high-profile
projects being released is "Worth." A Netflix
film, "Worth" tells the story of mediator
Kenneth Feinberg, played by Michael Keaton, who
was tasked with developing and administering the
September 11th Victims Compensation Fund.
"You talk to some people, you do investigation,
you know, the investigation required. And it's
really a learning experience and it's really
emotional," said Keaton.
Steven Rosenbaum, co-director of documentary
"The Outsider," said his film is different from
others that will come out this year. "We think
that America deserves a free, open, honest
conversation about 9/11, and we think that we
haven't had that," he said.
Rosenbaum's movie, which will be released in
cinemas and on-demand, is an insider's look at
the creation of New York's 9/11 Memorial &
Museum and disputes among staff in how it
approached retelling the story of what happened.
The museum asked for cuts to be made to some
scenes, which were declined by the filmmakers.
"We made clear to the filmmakers that we were
disappointed by many of their decisions, which
we think are disrespectful towards victims and
their families," said museum spokeswoman Lee
Cochran.
Filmmaker Spike Lee has also faced criticism for
his new HBO Max docuseries "NYC Epicenters
9/11-2021½," which weaves together dozens of
interviews to create a mosaic account of New
York, the events of 9/11, and the years since.
The New York Times reported that he had included
some conspiracy theorists but had removed them
from the final edit after facing an uproar.

 Meanwhile, National Geographic
is airing "9/11: One Day in America," a
four-part docuseries that will feature
first-person testimonials from first responders
and survivors.
The different approaches reflect how people
react in varied ways depending on their
individual circumstances, where they were, and
even if they are old enough to remember it at
all, psychologists say.
"I think for some of us, 9/11 feels like
yesterday and that depended on how much trauma
we were exposed to at the time and if we've had
to deal with symptoms since then," New
York-based psychiatrist Dr. Karinn Glover said.
"There are other people for whom it's a distant
memory and seeing a movie about 9/11 could be
just art."
This story corrects profession of Dr Glover,
paragraph 10.
