The Academy Award-winning documentary short “Twin Towers,” produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf and Peter Jankowski of the “Law & Order” franchise will air immediately following “The Space Between.”

Both of these special “Characters Unite” films will be broadcast commercial free beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11 on USA.

“The Space Between” from Inception Media Group, was produced, written and directed by Travis Fine (“The Others”).
