The film recounts the survival of Genelle Guzman, the final survivor recovered from Ground Zero.Guzman worked for the Port Authority and was buried beneath the collapse of the North Tower on 9/11.
Produced by Robin Roberts, and starring Sherri Shepherd, the film follows Guzman (played by Shepherd) who was trapped for 27 hours until rescuers pulled her to safety.
As she fought to stay alive, she reflected on her life and the faith she had left behind, praying 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 she 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.
Dondré Whitfield portrays her 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.”
The film titled “Robin Roberts Presents: Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story” will air on Saturday, September 12 at 8pET on the Lifetime Network.
