In a 2007 Film Comment essay, Amy Taubin wrote in praise of Spike Lee\u2019s When the Levees Broke, a documentary about the Hurricane Katrina disaster and the communities that bore its brunt. For Amy, \u201cLee makes it possible for their stories to be inscribed in history. It is left to us not to forget them.\u201d\n\nThe same could be said of Lee\u2019s epic new mini-series NYC Epicenters 9/11\u21922021\xbd, a deep-dive into New York City\u2019s recent history of trauma and resilience, from the September 11 attacks to the COVID-19 pandemic. On today\u2019s podcast, FC editors Clinton Krute and Devika Girish sat down with Amy as well as critic, artist, and archivist Ina Archer to discuss the fascinating sprawl of the show, a highly personal tribute to the spirit of Lee\u2019s hometown.
