Naudet brothers Jules and Gédéon, the directors of ‘9/11’, are launching their new project, ‘November 13’, around mid-2018. The three-part documentary series, which will be available exclusively to Netflix members around the world, explores the human stories behind the Paris terrorist attacks on November 13, 2015.

Following the chronology of the events, the documentary will share testimonies of the people brought together by tragedy, from the survivors, the fire department, the police and the leaders of the French government including French President at the time of the events, François Hollande, according to a statement issued by Netflix.

“We feel it is a great privilege to be able to share these incredible stories of survival and hope. This is a project very close to our hearts, and we truly found the right partners at Netflix to make it come to life,” the statement quoted Jules and Gédéon Naudet as saying.

“We are inspired by the incredible filmmaking process and storytelling, as well as the great care and integrity Jules and Gédéon brought to the stories of the victims and first responders,” said Erik Barmack, Vice President of International Originals at Netflix. “This is an important project for everyone here at Netflix, and we are honored to be able to provide a platform to help tell the stories of all those who went through these shattering events.”

The three part documentary will be executive produced and directed by Jules and Gédéon Naudet (Goldfish Pictures); and produced by Propagate (Executive producers for Propagate are Ben Silverman and Howard T. Owens) and No School Productions (Marie Drucker as Associate Producer).

Jules and Gedeon Naudet, brothers and filmmakers, shot, produced and directed the iconic documentary 9/11, which has been compared, for its historical significance, to the Zapruder film of JFK’s assassination. Airing on CBS, 9/11 won Emmy, Peabody and DuPont awards among others.

The Naudets also produced and directed The Presidents’ Gatekeepers for Discovery Channel, a riveting account of five decades of presidential history seen through the eyes of all 20 living White House chiefs of staff.
