The Space Between

Capturing the raw emotion that gripped the world following 9/11, The Space Between powerfully defines the experience first-hand through the eyes of an unlikely duo, two strangers brought together by tragedy and fate. Academy Award Winner Melissa Leo stars in this compelling story as Montine - a world weary, alcoholic flight attendant who is given charge of a young Muslim boy, Omar, travelling alone. On the fateful day, their plane, bound for New York, is diverted. Unaware of the chaos and devastation that has occurred, Montine is left with no choice but to head to the city to return the child to his father, who works in the Tower's top floor restaurant. As the news unfolds, they soon realize that the journey would become a road of discovery. For her, tolerance and understanding, for Omar, a need to trust an outsider. The Space Between is a compelling and emotional story of heartbreak, courage and redemption in the hours and days following the 9/11 attacks.
