Watch Saint of 9/11 for Free Online…Right Here!
by Danny Fisher
I’ve blogged previously about Glenn Holsten’s wonderful documentary Saint of 9/11. If you’re not familiar with the film, it tells the story of Fr. Mychal Judge, the gay Franciscan monk and New York City Fire Department chaplain who became the first officially recorded victim of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, September 11, 2001. Fr. Judge refused Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s request to leave “Ground Zero” with him, opting instead to remain with firefighters and those being evacuated from the towers.
I’m delighted to tell you that both SnagFilms and YouTube have made the full version of the film available for free online viewing. I’ve embedded it below and encourage you to watch it sometime. For chaplains in particular, this is an essential viewing.
Hey there – just finished watching the whole thing through (with my Youngest, as a matter of fact – he never ceases to surprise me). Thank you very much for the heads up – I had been wanting to see this but hadn’t been able to yet.
I’d like to recommend the YouTube link over SnagFilms – as the commercials in the latter cut into the actual fabric of the film and basically make it so the viewer misses a little bit.
Good call on the YouTube option.
And I’m glad you got to see the film! : )
