  • A baggage handler steals a suitcase that contains terrorist plans.
    THE SUITCASE is used with permission from Abi Damaris Corbin. Learn more at / abicorbin .
    Joe Franek is an ordinary man, a baggage handler at an airport in Boston, working in 2001. After not being paid for overtime and facing financial difficulties, he decides to steal a suitcase at his work in retaliation for being blown off by his boss.
    But then two planes crash into the World Trade Center, and the suitcase takes on new significance. Upon opening the pilfered bag, Joe discovers something he did not expect: plans for a terrorist attack. The discovery turns his life upside-down in ways he never anticipated, pushing him to think and act in ways he never has before.
    Writer-director Abi Damaris Corbin's powerful drama/thriller is cerebral yet propulsive storytelling at its best, with the look and feel and the ambitious narrative scope of a feature. It takes its time to carefully lay out the moving pieces of what becomes a complex gameboard. But as the story unfolds, the pieces fall into place with a weighty sense of inevitability-- and shows how the smallest, seemingly inconsequential details are actually the most crucial.
    As with many thrillers, much of the film's initial power rests on an excellent command of craftsmanship. The muted palette, quicksilver editing and a meticulously constructed script efficiently establish character, details and stakes, with a sense of resonance and responsibility. The narrative is actually quite complex and must structure an interlocking chain of events with care and precision, and yet the storytelling moves quickly.
    But when the film takes its time to settle upon the central figure of Joe -- a humble everyman with issues, problems and concerns -- he proves to be a grounding figure in this complex narrative. Through actor Mojean Aria's strong performance, Joe gives audiences an anchor as a swirl of circumstances quickens with intensity, as Joe and his fellow baggage handlers watch on TV as two planes crash into the World Trade Center towers.
    It's undeniably that much of the poignancy of THE SUITCASE rests on its historical import, on an event that still exerts a powerful influence on geopolitical events and policy today. But it offers a different window to look at the sweeping events of 9/11, one that showcases how the actions and decisions of one seemingly "small" person had an impact on that shocking day.
    There were many heroes on the day that the towers fell -- many unacknowledged, unnamed and perhaps lost to the larger sweep of historical memory, but whose roles in the larger mosaic were crucial to saving more lives than we perhaps could ever quantify. THE SUITCASE acknowledges the moral urgency, duty and allegiance to community beyond the individual self at the core of these unnamed people, and asks us to reflect on how speaking up can have a resonance larger than we could ever initially conceive.

      There are unknown heroes saving the world from ending every day. And here we are living our lives not knowing that the world almost ended 5 minutes ago. For perspective, there was a Cuban Admiral who didn’t fire on a US vessel. In that vessel there was a US captain who also didn’t fire on the Cuban submarine. This was during the embargo and Cuban missile crisis. Both men on opposite sides disobeyed orders from their superiors, they were dishonorably discharged, and their citizens wanted to execute them. There were protests in DC for bargaining with the enemy. But that day, due to the treason of those 2 men, cooler heads prevailed, and the US and Cuba remain in 1 piece.

      He didn’t do anyone’s job. I’m confused what you think he did. You can’t reward someone for breaking the law. That’s called consequtialism, where the ends justify the means. But that’s not true, if they did we’d give up all our freedoms and let everyone go through our bags at will. Did their job? So if they weren’t terrorists and that was your bag, you’d be cool with handlers taking money out of your bag and going through it? He still broke the law, and he wouldn’t have known what he had known without doing so.

    19 years ago I was in the 1st grade and I got called out of school early- I thought my mom was taking me out of school for a fun reason. I get home and am sat in front of the TV to see the WTC coming down. my dad was in the NYPD at the time- so i also had a mild understanding that he was there in that mess. my dad was a hero that day and i'm so lucky to have him in my life to this day still.

      Same here, I went kindergarten in Newark NJ. My school was on top of a hill, my home room was on the 4th floor. The Hudson River was right across my school, and a little further the Twin Towers in the distance. I’ve never seen so much smoke in my life. I remember seeing an army of coast guard and naval officers in the Hudson River. My mom used to work in Manhattan back then at a Hotel as a maid. The phone lines were not working in the tri state area, there was no way she could contact my grandfather to come pick me up. And the PATH train to Newark NJ from 33rd street Manhattan was closed for obvious reasons. She had to stay in the hotel where she worked for 2 days before finally being able to come home.
      On a side note, my grandfather eventually came to pick me up.

And because my father was enlisted in the military and could have been deployed to Afghanistan, we had to be put back in regular school. Thankfully he was never deployed to war.

      I was in 5th grade when 9/11 happened. I was studying in Peshawar, a city on the Pak-Afghan border. My school was shut down for 3 months after 9/11 happened because of the constant bombardment by America in Afghanistan the government was afraid Peshawar might get hit too. Also, because Pakistan was helping the US to carry out those attacks there was danger of terrorist attack by the Afghan Militants. At the time i just found it very weird that some tower blowing up half way across the world meant i couldn't go to school and neither could any of my friends. My school was shut down again when US was invading Iraq. Again, i felt like that was just pointless and felt angered by the whole ordeal.
      Years later, after my graduation, in December of 2014 my school was attacked by the Taliban when 6 gunmen entered the school and opened fire killing 149 people including 132 childern and the mother of my good friend who was the principal of the school at the time, she was blown up by a grenade after she refused to disclose the location of the kids who were hiding in the school.
      I feel like Pakistan is like the protagonist in the film. Had the best intention at heart, paid a huge price tryna do the right thing while getting blamed for it.

    I am a flight attendant, and often times I am the most junior one on majority of my flights since I work with people that are flying for over 30-40 years. Whenever I see our gate agents, luggage handlers and maintenance crew, I offer them a drink or give them a pax water bottle to take with them. I get told by some senior FAs that I make them look bad or spoil these people and raise their expectations. I disagree! Everyone that works at the airport plays a part in bringing loved ones together, and taking millions of people home safely. We are all equal regardless of the uniforms we wear. This man is a hero.

    My dad was in the WTC during the attack for work. When the first plane hit, he thought it was just the sounds of the city when he says he heard a voice say “it’s not a drill. Run.” He left his office after alerting his coworkers and boss and looked up to see the second plane hit. He called my mom and my grandma mother tell them he was alright and began to run to the docks to wait for a boat. His boat dropped him off coincidentally at his jobs emergency work station and ran inside to get back to work with other coworkers that caught up. He tells me that story every year and it still makes me cry knowing he saw that.

    It's amazing to think that one small bag of luggage was all it could've taken for plenty more people to die.

    People should learn to *listen*
    I'm glad this film was made because i had no idea about this. Its unfunny how those who deserve good rarely get it in life and just get trampled on and forgotten. I hope the baggage handler went on to live a good and contented life even without the acknowledgement he deserved. Such is life.
