Lifetime reteams with Roberts for the fourth film under her banner, Robin Roberts Presents Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story premiering on Saturday, September 12 at 8/7c. Sherri Shepherd stars as Genelle Guzman, a New York City transit employee who was the last survivor pulled from the debris at Ground Zero. Dondré Whitfield portrays Genelle's boyfriend Roger McMillan and the film is based on Guzman-McMillan's memoir Angel in the Rubble: The Miraculous Rescue of 9/11's Last Survivor.

About 102 Minutes Inside the Towers

On September 11, 2001, the world watched from afar as two terrorist hijacked planes launched unfathomable attacks on the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York City. In the years since, nearly every angle of that tragic day has been revisited in chilling detail, except from the inside out. 102 Minutes Inside the Towers shifts the perspective of the day inward to reveal what people inside the buildings witnessed and overcame to make it out alive. Over the course of 102 minutes, these individuals lived their own unimaginable realities scattered throughout the two buildings. Now, and for the first time ever in this format, they are sharing their unique accounts of what took place on that tragic day and their layered sentiments of fear, heroism, ingenuity, and humanity 25 years later. Through new first-person interviews and carefully crafted visual effects that illuminate their harrowing perspectives, this gut-wrenching special creates a vital historical record of select individuals lived experiences on 9/11 and how they persevered, told moment by moment from the inside out.

About Robin Roberts Presents Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story

The film recounts the extraordinary survival of Genelle Guzman (Sherri Shepherd), a NYC transit worker who was buried beneath the collapse of the North Tower on 9/11 and trapped for 27 harrowing hours. As she fought to stay alive, Genelle reflected on her life and the faith she had left behind, praying for deliverance and promising to change if given another chance. Her prayers were answered when a man named Paul found her in the debris and remained by her side until rescuers pulled her to safety - the final survivor recovered from Ground Zero. When Genelle later searched for Paul to thank him, no one could confirm he was ever there, leading her to believe he was an angel sent to save her and guide her toward the renewed life she had promised while buried beneath the rubble.
