From Ground Zero to the Battlefield: Zzaslow K427 Brings 9/11 Victim’s Legacy Full Circle in Documentary

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the New York premiere of a very special documentary called Zzaslow K427, produced by U.S. Army veteran Robert Ham of HAMMR Productions.

I had already seen this documentary during its very first showing at Joint Base San Antonio–Lackland, but the location — and who I was with — made all the difference. This documentary tells the story of a very special dog, named for a very special man who lost his life less than three miles from where the film was shown, when airplanes became weapons and the War on Terror began. On that day, a cloudless sky became filled by a cloud of falling towers.

As the towers fell, so did the tears of Adam Zaslow, whose father, Ira, was lost that day.
