Out of the Clear Blue Sky

Cantor Fitzgerald is a bond trading company. In 2001, their US headquarters were at the top of the World Trade Center. On September 11, 658 of Cantor's 960 employees reported for work. All 658 died. This documentary is the story of the company, the aftermath, and the utter devastation suffered. It's a searing, heartbreaking, gut-wrenching movie. Tough to watch, yet utterly enthralling. You'll be right there with the CEO as he cries about the families and employees lost. You'll be right there with the families as they become angry over a payroll decision. You'll be livid at the callousness of Cantor's competitors. But mostly you'll be glued to the screen for this powerful story. This one was really, really good. 9/10.
