Film Festival 2005
Jemma Brown,
Cookie Girl in the Hot Zone
Jemma Brown lives with her family in Tribeca just a few blocks from the World Trade Center site. Three days after the world trade center towers collapsed Jemma (then 12 years old) began to bake and serve cookies to the rescue workers who were walking away from the site.
Jemma is a vital part of her community, "working to make our little town normal again...."
In September 2005 on the 4th anniversary of 9-11, Jemma once again showed support for the community by taking part in a MANHATTAN YOUTH PROJECT that organized young people in New York City to help the survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
