Makhmalbaf created a story about the transcendence of tragedy, how a class of impoverished refugees were made to learn and grieve for people a world away.

Gitai made a film that asks, "so what if this happened to you? Why aren't we talking about Israel instead? We are more important"

As the film goes on, she gets increasingly frustrated that her television network isn't broadcasting her camera feed. The director, back at the station, tells her "something very serious happened in New York" but she counters that Israel faces these attacks every day.

An IDF soldier tries to clear the street, while a journalist harasses those present, trying to get the scoop of her career, hoping that covering this attack will launch her career out of covering local news in Israel.

Frustrated, she takes the children to a brick chimney and forces them to look up at in the sunlight to give them some shred of understanding of what happened, and they finally stand in a minute of silence.

They laugh, because they do not believe buildings can be so tall. They joke amongst themselves. Does Allah allow bad things to happen?

She tries to lead them in a moment of silence, but being children, they can't help but goof off, and giggle.

The 1st Segment, Iran, was written & directed by Samira Makhmalbaf.

It details the story of a teacher who visits a remote Afghan refugee camp in Iran, where children work to bake mud bricks in the sun.

She gives a lesson to the children about 9/11, which they do not understand.

Mere mortals dare not look directly at divinity, not for fear of their life, but for fear that their inadequacies would become utterly unbearable to live with at the sight of it.
