A collection of interviews and portraits from transcontinental road trips
in 2001, 2011, and 2021 capturing how Americans experienced 9/11 and
the decades of conflict and change that followed.
In the days after September 11, 2001, photojournalist Peter Laufer set
out on a cross-country journey to capture America at its most vulnerable
and united. Traveling from Washington, DC, to California, he documented the
voices, faces, and emotions of a diverse cross section of citizens
grappling with tragedy, resilience, and what it meant to be American in
that moment.



Ten years later, and again on the 20th anniversary, he retraced his trip across the country, reconnecting with Americans to learn how their
perspectives had shifted as the nation healed, adapted, and faced new
challenges. The result is a remarkable chronicle spanning two decades
(2001, 2011, and 2021), one that reveals both the enduring spirit and
the evolving identity of America. 



With raw honesty and heartfelt testimony, We Are All Americans
commemorates the 25th anniversary of 9/11 through the words and images
of typical people whose stories speak to the heart of our shared
humanity.



Key Features:



Firsthand interviews with Americans reflecting on 9/11 and its aftermath​
Three cross-country journeys capturing diverse perspectives across states and regions
Intimate portrait photography paired with interviews
Documents 20 years of national transformation through lived experience


This deeply moving portrait offers a rare and authentic look
at how a nation—and its citizens—continue to define what it means to be
American
