Spike Lee is set to create a new documentary for HBO, marking 20 years since the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City.

 

Production is currently underway on NYC Epicenters 9/11→ 2021½, which is set to be released later this year on HBO and the HBO Max streaming service.

 

A synopsis for the documentary promises an “unprecedented, sweeping portrait of New Yorkers as they rebuild and rebound, from a devastating terrorist attack through the ongoing global pandemic”.

 

Speaking about the project in a statement, Lee said: “As a New Yawker who bleeds orange and blue (the colours of New York City), I’m proud to have a ‘Spike Lee Joint’ about how our/my city dealt with being the epicenters of 9/11 and COVID-19.
