Mini-Documentary Brings Together Daughters of 9/11 and Israeli Terrorism Victims
A new mini-documentary, “Our 9/11 Story,” tells the powerful story of two daughters connected by tragedy: Kristin Marino, whose firefighter father died in the 9/11 attacks in New York City, and Maya Peretz, whose father died saving her during the 2023 Nova Music Festival terrorist attack in Israel. Despite their different backgrounds, The Media Line’s Clint Van Winkle reports, Marino and Peretz bond over their shared experiences of loss and resilience. The film, produced by ROVA Media and directed by Dan Luxenberg, highlights their emotional journey and emphasizes the strength they have found in each other.
