Why according to the director of the film James Marsh was the destruction of the World Trade Centre twin towers not mentioned in the documentary of man on wire?

James Marsh, the director of "Man on Wire," chose not to mention the destruction of the World Trade Center twin towers to focus on the artistic and personal journey of Philippe Petit and his iconic tightrope walk between the towers in 1974. He believed that including the events of 9/11 would overshadow the film's central themes of ambition, dream, and the beauty of Petit’s achievement. By avoiding this topic, Marsh aimed to preserve the film’s celebratory tone and highlight the historical significance of the original towers as symbols of human creativity.
