  • ""On September 11th, 2001, Davenport was in California, far from New York where her apartment overlooked the World Trade Center. Driving along back roads alone, armed only with her camera, Davenport eloquently investigates the intersection between loss and national tragedy. She meets strangers who quickly become friends, revealing their most intimate and personal feelings about topics as diverse as love, nature, and war. Soon, the parallel lines in the asphalt begin to reflect the enduring themes along the highway of life, a road paved with sadness, humor, and genuine surprise." Docurama Films"@en
  • "Parallel lines is a not a 9/11 film (alas, a very small genre in the United States). Nina does not interview victims, and she does not speculate whether a different configuration of struts and concrete, or indeed a different president, might have ensured that the Twin Towers didn't fall down. Nina is a smart interviewer, and there are many fantastic moments. More importantly, the film communicates the vastness of America and the great number of eccentrics to be found there."
  • "Parallel lines follows filmmaker Nina Davenport in the fall of 2001 as she drives from California back home to New York, where her apartment once overlooked the World Trade Center. The events of September 11th, 2001 serve as a portal into the inner lives of Americans. The filmmaker stops along the road to talk with strangers who share their own personal stories of loss and grief: a woman tells of losing custody of her children; a veteran describes his battle with post traumatic stress disorder; a cowboy reveals that his mother murdered his father. "The title of the film refers to the lines in the road, the personal story lines that paralleled the nation's story, and the twin towers themselves"--Filmmaker's website."
