Park City, Utah -
Sundance Film Festival's tribute to the tragic events of September 11 took place on Saturday, January 12, in Park City to a sold-out audience. The two-hour screening of shorts and the Globalvision documentary "We Are Family" kept the audience in tears and awe as they watched the recounting of the events of that horrific day.

In attendance and in support of the "We Are Family" documentary that closed the tribute, were veteran record producer Nile Rodgers (Madonna, Chic, David Bowie et al), who spearheaded the re-recording of his famous and inspirational song, and Emmy Award winning veteran of CNN and ABC's 20/20 Danny Schechter, who directed the documentary. As the end credits of "We Are Family" began to roll, the audience rose to their feet dancing, singing and clapping to the beat of the music, while they cheered and congratulated Nile and Danny for their work on the dramatic and emotionally charged documentary.

"We Are Family" chronicles the re-recording of the classic 1979 hit song "We Are Family" by more than 200 well-known artists, actors, sports figures and other personalities, as a call for tolerance and healing on a global basis. The song was released in association with Tommy Boy Records last year as a benefit project. The film also incorporates a music video directed by filmmaker Spike Lee. Participants in the re-recording include Diana Ross, Luther Vandross, Patti Labelle, Jackson Browne, Eartha Kitt, Roberta Flack, Little Steven, Taylor Dayne, Queen Latifah, Joan Osborne, Dionne Warwick, Sister Sledge, The Pointer Sisters and many others. A version of the same remake will be performed by all the stars from children's television including the Muppets, The Beat, Barney and others.
