The available report indicates that on September 11, 2001, a journalist from the Associated Press was dispatched to the foot of the Twin Towers. The report also specifies that one of the most famous photojournalism shots emerges. However, the image was almost immediately censored, considered too shocking by American public opinion. In his new book, The Man Who Falls, Philippe Lecaplain brings together the fragments of context that surround this photo, which he organizes into a captivating narrative.
