Movies worth (2020) It has been 20 years since the tragedy of 9/11 irrevocably changed the course of history. With countless documentaries and films centring on the event, Worth is definitely a mustwatch for law students. Worth ticks all the boxes of a successful drama: It has a fabulous cast and a gripping script exploring themes that remain pertinent to this day.

The film navigates Feinberg’s role, the obstacles he is forced to overcome, and his efforts–as well as the efforts of his colleagues–to ensure that all victims receive as much compensation as possible under the fund. Ultimately, this movie will prompt you to question how much a life is truly worth.
