Approaching collapse, the nation's economy is quickly eroding. As crime and fear take over the countryside, the government continues to exert its brutal force against the nation's most productive who are mysteriously vanishing - leaving behind a wake of despair. One man has the answer. One woman stands in his way. Some will stop at nothing to control him. Others will stop at nothing to save him. He swore by his life. They swore to find him.
The Port Authority Police Department of New York and New Jersey suffered the largest single day loss of life of any police force in history. The 37 chronicles the lives of those thirty-seven Port Authority Police Officers that were killed on September 11th, 2001. Told entirely by their friends, fellow officers and family members, the story unfolds from the viewpoint of those around them up to the point when their lives were taken by the collapse of World Trade Center towers 1 and 2. Never-before-seen footage, photographs and artifacts provided by surviving officers and family members provide dramatic visual impact to this already powerful documentary. The film is slated for release in the first quarter of 2014.
