NEW YORK, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- "Clear Blue Tuesday," the first musical film about the Sept. 11 terror attacks, made its debut on Friday night in New York, offering an unique perspective to memorize the tragedy.

Instead of describing the attacks themselves, the movie follows the unfolding fates of 11 New Yorkers through six Septembers following 9/11 as each one comes to grip with their lives in alternately resilient, defiant, surprising, unraveling and unifying ways.

"This is not a movie about September 11. This is a tale about what happens after. September 11 was a catalyst for personal change, both good and bad. This movie is about healing, and about moving forward," the film's director Elizabeth Lucas told Xinhua.

She said she sees a musical as a way to delve deeper into the characters while finding the release and the perspective to "look at ourselves and laugh at our tragedies."
