The Love We Make, a film documentary chronicling Paul McCartney’s experiences immediately following the 9/11 attacks, is set to premiere on Showtime on September 10. The film will be broadcast on the night prior to the 10th anniversary of the historic tragedy.McCartney was inside a plane on the tarmac of a New York City airport when the attacks occurred. The film, shot in black and white, focuses on the activities undertaken by the former Beatle as he prepared for the “Concert for New York City” benefit show staged six weeks later. Speaking about the concert, McCartney said, “It was an honor to be able to help New York and America at that time in its history. There was a feeling of shock and fear in the air that I thought we could help alleviate with music. And the fact that so many people stepped up to join us made for a very uplifting evening for us all.”
The Love We Make was co-directed by Albert Mayles, who directed the classic Rolling Stones documentary, Gimme Shelter. The McCartney film includes cameo appearances by David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and other high-profile figures.
