Only a few films over the years have tried to dramatize events leading up to or following 9/11. September 12th takes a modest but effective approach to that national tragedy. The film centers on two folk singers who are trying to make it from Los Angeles to New York when all planes are grounded. So the film evolves into an unconventional road movie that turns out to be quietly affecting. Without name actors in the cast, the audience will be limited, but the film merits attention.
