Vito reflects on his 9/11 experiences, at the New York Historical Society Recovery Exhibit
Director Maria Pusateri's brother-in-law, Vito Friscia, is an NYPD homicide detective and 9/11 Responder who was near ground zero when the towers collapsed, and was involved in the daunting rescue and recovery efforts. Vito's story unfolds during the two years following, as he navigates the aftermath with support from family, friends, and colleagues. Through this intimate portrait of an everyday hero, we find a powerful renewal of the human spirit, and insight into the lives of thousands of responders who are paying an emotional and physical price for their bravery.
