911 documentary vito after?

Award-winning documentary "VITO AFTER" at www.vitoafter.com "Vito After" takes a vital look at the 9/11 health crisis by going beyond the headlines and focusing on one NYPD detective's personal struggle. Vito Friscia is a dedicated homicide detective and devoted family man who selflessly helped others on September 11th, then spent months sifting through toxic rubble hoping to bring closure to victims' families. The film follows Friscia as he copes in the aftermath with the support of loved ones 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. Director's statement: Sadly, because tens of thousands of people are afflicted with 9/11-related illnesses, and the number of deaths continue to increase, this subject is as timely and relevant today as it was when it screened at its first film festival. The film offers a rare window into the heart and soul of a NYPD homicide detective, his family and colleagues. It is understated, yet powerful. Vito is charismatic and compelling. He typifies the multitude of 9/11 responders who may not be seriously ill now, but who have suffered, and continue to suffer emotionally and physically, unsure if their futures will be taken from them. These everyday heroes, with their inherent humility and courage, were just "doing their job." Even though their experiences continue to haunt them, they say they would do it again. I was inspired by my brother-in-law, Vito, and people like him. This film was made to honor them all.

Traits to barack obamas success?

I think it has partially to do with the fact that he is half African American, but also because he is a good speaker, according to the people of the United States. The people of the United States like him, rather like they liked President Roosevelt, who was also a popular president. It may also have something to do with the fact that President Bush had such a low approval rating, and very few agreed with him on the economy, the War on Terror, and the Iraq War. I think the people of the United States felt like it was a relief to finally have a president who agrees with them.

How has the 21st century contributed to change that can still be felt amongst citizens today in Canada and on a global scale?

We are still in the first quarter of the 21st century so cannot know the answer.

Of course we can speculate. The 21st century saw a major shift in global economic, military and political power. The political instabilities in Canada combined with our inability to revise our Constitution to meet changing needs resulted in a New Confederation. Western Canadians, most of them of Asian descent the result of early 21st century immigration, set a new, more international course that saw them end the traditional transfer of wealth to Eastern Canada and the USA.

The loss of sole access to Canadian resources by the American Empire has contributed to their decline and led to the actions they have taken. Actions that have been felt and continue to be felt on a Global scale.
