Man in Red Bandana

There was a round of applause at the end and I also did not see a person with a dry eye in the theater. Myself included. Hands down the best movie I've seen in a long time and the best in regards to that morning. My father (NYPD Retired) and myself both thought so. Especially hit home having been born one month after Welles and living in the next town over (Nyack to West Nyack) I had many of the same experiences as he did growing up. Just to relive that day through his parents eyes and his work was for lack of a better word... Outstanding.

This movie is a 10. Man in the red bandanna is a must see for everyone . This documentary brings home the real life people of 911. Welles Remy Crothers was a real life hero and inspiration. He gave his life to help and save others. In This movie get to know and ultimately love the man in the red bandanna. In many ways it tells a different story of 911 the spiderweb of hate and violence is almost left behind by the heroism of Welles. Behind every name at the World Trade Center is a real person and in this movie we get to know not only Welles but his family and the people he saved from the clutches of death. The movie will bring tears to your eyes but it will also inspire you. Ginny Gardner board member and finance chair of the Newton 9/11 memorial

A very important story of untold heroism. We've all heard various stories of heroes on Flight 93, at the Pentagon, and at the World Trades, and yet this story is uniquely special and important. There is a lot to learn about love and priorities from the Welles Crowther story. Well done.

After reading The Red Bandanna by Tom Rinaldi, I felt a strong urge to know more about Welles's story. The very next day I bought tickets to view Man in Red Bandana. I was 20 years old when 9/11 happened and I have not seen footage of the actual day since the first day when I watched the 2nd tower fall on TV. Re-watching the footage in the documentary brought me back to that time when my innocence of youth was forever changed.

The documentary includes other survivors accounts of that day in the South Tower and how a man named Welles Crowther risked his own life to save others. He was only 24 years old with a life ahead of him and it pains me that he, along with the others who lost their lives that day, will never get another day. I am grateful that his documentary was made. It will never bring Welles' or the others back, but it gave the Crowther's a special gift- their son will be a legacy for years to come. I know that does not make it any easier, but I hope they found peace in knowing they raised a magnificent, selfless man.

The story of Welles Crowther is simply amazing. Welles saved, at least, 10 people in the upper reaches of the South Tower on 9/11. However, no one knew what happened to him until 8 months later. Welles' mom was reading the NY Times and read about a man wearing a red bandanna who saved people. She knew instantly that this was her son. The film shows all the heroic actions that Welles displayed that day and then shows how he has assumed a folklore status throughout the country. The final ending just blew me away!
