RECOVERY OF NYC, A&E, 2004
With unprecedented access to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, THE POINT (tm) details the critical first year of rebuilding a city that has been changed forever.
The Recovery of NYC chronicles the city's attempts to rise from the ashes of 9/11. Now the NYPD not only has to keep crime down, but also prevent terrorism, maintain the quality of life and manage a budget wracked by extraordinary overtime. And the FDNY has to rebuild from the devastation it suffered when more than 300 firefighters were killed. How will Commissioner Scoppetta bring normalcy back to a command that suffered such losses? With an unfettered look at the work of both the police and fire commissioners, the program tells the story of a city rising from its knees, focusing on the men and women on the front lines who are making it happen.
