Toxic dust stole the survivors’ health.
They got it back in the most unlikely way.
In the months after September 11th, survivors and responders breathed in a toxic cloud of pulverized concrete, glass, asbestos, and chemicals. For thousands, the illness came later — and stayed.
Doctors treated symptoms. Nothing reached the cause. Some of the people who walked away from that day quietly lost their health to it.
SWEAT: The Untold 9/11 Story follows survivors who found their way back through an unlikely protocol — one built on the body’s oldest detoxification system: sweating. This is the story of how they got their lives back, told in their own words.
