Showtime and Oscilloscope are teaming up on the release of Jim Whitaker's documentary about the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Oscilloscope will release "Rebirth," which screened at this year's Sundance Film Festival, theatrically in August, and Showtime will air the documentary on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
"Rebirth" chronicles the efforts of nine people, from a NYPD officer who oversaw the recovery efforts to a Muslim-American woman who became an advocate for religious tolerance in the wake of the attacks. A film crew conducted lengthy interviews with each subject on every anniversary of 9/11 through 2009.
"Rebirth" has also spawned the Rebirth Project. All proceeds from the film will go to the Project Rebirth Center, in order to provide resources and aid to therapists, first responders and others who work with trauma victims.
The film will eventually be housed at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, at Ground Zero in New York.
