Its a documentary about this very famous photo of a man who jumped out the very top of World Trade Centre when it was attacked. I'll put the photo in spoiler tags incase people dont want to see it, as its not really nice...

The documentary then follows as they try and trace the man in the photo, and they track down his family. And his wife is indenial about it being him and gets all upset.

This is from what I can remember last year.

I saw it.
Apparently it was a guy called Jonathan Briley, must have been horrible to have had to make a decision like he had to make. Upsetting, but at least it opened people's eyes to what happened that day.
