At its world premiere at Turning the Tide 2026, The Responders: Breaking the Silence received an extraordinary response, with audience members calling it a “masterpiece” — and even “the most dangerous movie ever made in this country.”
Now, a new trailer captures the reactions of Senator Ron Johnson, Roger Waters, and others who saw the film’s first showing.
The Responders is the first feature-length film to bring together multiple 9/11 first responders who attest to witnessing explosions at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Firefighters, paramedics, and police officers describe, in their own words, the explosions they heard, saw, and felt. The film weaves their stories into a larger tapestry of courage, camaraderie and, ultimately, conviction to speak out about what they experienced that day.
By focusing on the eyewitness testimony of those who ran toward danger that morning instead of away from it, The Responders has the potential to reach huge numbers of Americans who have never before questioned the official account of 9/11. Indeed, this film is arguably the most powerful vehicle yet for bringing 9/11 Truth fully into the mainstream.
