The rebuilding of Ground Zero is the most architecturally, politically, and emotionally complex construction project in recent American history. 16 Acres is the inside story of how and why this historic project got built.

Artist Leo Villareal’s light installation on the Bay Bridge changed that almost overnight. Impossible Light provides an inside glimpse at how a small team of visionaries brought The Bay Lights to reality. (70 minutes, unrated)
