Michael Gier • October 10, 2026

Gier Productions, in association with SoldierStrong, produced and released The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11: From Tragedy to Triumph, a powerful documentary narrated by acclaimed actor Gary Sinise in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.


Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Michael Gier, the film takes a different approach to telling the story of 9/11. While honoring those who lost their lives, it focuses on the extraordinary acts of heroism, compassion, and resilience that emerged from one of the darkest days in American history. Through firsthand accounts, archival footage, and dramatized reenactments, the documentary shares inspiring stories of first responders, survivors, public servants, and ordinary Americans who stepped forward to help others. The film's message is one of hope, unity, and the incredible things people can accomplish when they come together.


The documentary has received Five Best Documentary Awards and celebrated its release with Hollywood and New York City premieres. It has also been screened at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, Syracuse University, the University of Missouri, SUNY Maritime College, and in the City of Rock Hill.


Through this film, Gier Productions and SoldierStrong hope to preserve these important stories, honor the heroes of 9/11, and help ensure that future generations understand not only the tragedy of that day, but also the courage, humanity, and resilience that followed.


The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11: From Tragedy to Triumph is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, Google TV, Apple TV, and YouTube Movies.  To learn more about the film and watch the trailer, visit HeroismAndResiliency.com.
