The Heart of Steel is a documentary directed by Angelo J. Guglielmo, Jr., which had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2006.

[1] Personally selected by festival co-founder, Jane Rosenthal, this historical film chronicles a group of ordinary citizens who volunteered in the search and rescue and cleanup efforts after the collapse of the World Trade Center following the September 11 attacks.

From Susan Sarandon: "In an era where citizens feel helpless and are skeptical as to what kind of a difference a volunteer can really make, Heart of Steel illustrates how even just one impassioned individual can move mountains.

From Lian Dolan, Satellite Sisters, ABC Radio Networks: "The Heart of Steel is an extraordinary film about ordinary citizens.

From Professor Heidi Ardizzone, University of Notre Dame: "This film is a gripping reflection of the wrenching contradictions of emotion and reaction to 9/11 before the politics of war and global terrorism became the dominant response."
