God bless, Spike Lee, seriously. And 3/4ths of this “‘NYC Epicenters 9/11➔2021½’” HBO documentary is pretty incredible.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticAs the 20th anniversary of 9/11 fast approaches, you’ll have no shortage of options should you want — for whatever reason —to watch a documentary about it. As a mere sampling: there’s “One Day in America” from National Geographic, “Generation 9/11” from PBS, “9/11: Inside the President’s War Room” from Apple TV Plus, and an entire day’s worth of programming on the History Channel.

NYC EPICENTERS 9/11➔2021½,” focusing on the 20-year aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks, is star-studded with a constellation of political and cultural New York luminaries.That is, except for one falling star: Andrew Cuomo.The disgraced governor, who resigned last week amidst a damning report revealing multiple instances of sexual harassment and facing a potential impeachment probe, is conspicuously absent from Lee’s trailer, which dropped on Monday.Celebrities including Busta Rhymes, Rosie Perez, Jon Stewart, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appear against the rousing music of the nearly-3-minute trailer showing the resilience of New Yorkers in the aftermath of the worst terror attack on American soil.

The prodigious Spike Lee doesn’t sleep. Following the one-two punch of back-to-back hit films in 2020—”Da 5 Bloods” and the live-concert doc, “David Byrne’s American Utopia“—Lee is back yet again and with a pretty monstrous project.
