A unique take on 9/11, “Out of the Clear Blue Sky” registers the shock of the World Trade Center attacks as experienced by the bereaved families and survivors of one company… Danielle Gardner’s docu tracks the changing dynamics of the firm’s de facto family. With its dramatic arc and intimate closeups of devastation (Lutnick and Gardner both lost brothers on 9/11)… Gardner’s insider’s look at the almost unimaginable difficulties faced by Cantor Fitzgerald in the weeks following the attack and the abundance of coverage spanning 10 years of inhouse interactions more than compensate for the docu’s occasional unevenness.
