Andrew Jenks Reflects On Young Americans' 9/11 Lessons

'World of Jenks' star releases 'Millennials Will Never Forget' short film.

After its debut season, America has come to know the fearlessly inquisitive Andrew Jenks — the NYU film school grad at the center of MTV's "World of Jenks." Over the course of his show's 12 episodes, on a quest to better understand what it's like to live the life of everyday human beings, Jenks shadowed rapper Maino, a homeless street dweller, an NFL cheerleader, mixed martial arts fighter Anthony "Showtime" Pettis and a young man living with autism.

As Sunday brings the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Jenks has taken it upon himself to better understand just how Millennials remember that historic day in American history by creating a roughly 5-minute online film titled "Millennials Will Never Forget" that, among other things, touches on how young Americans can harness the lessons learned from the ordeal.

"9/11 is a day that is stamped into all of our lives, and something that none of us will forget," Jenks told MTV News on Friday (September 9). "I was trying to think of a concept that would really bring us back to that day and give us time to reflect, and then from there, see what we can do to change.

"Something that we really learned from that day was that Americans have an uncanny ability to do anything that it takes to help a neighbor out, and I feel like that's something that we have started to lose a little bit in the last 10 years," he added. "I was really curious to hear what young people my age would say."

The film, inspired by the motifs and structures of Academy Award-winning filmmaker Errol Morris, is a thought-provoking short film of human discovery and is comprised of back-to-back testimonials of 12 Generation Yers, young Americans who witnessed the events of 9/11 and the uniting spirit that brought, and still can bring, the country together.

"When I talked to people about 9/11, there's a sense that, 'We're all neighbors. We're all friends. We're all civil.' And it doesn't take a lot of looking around to see that now, 10 years later, that doesn't exist," Jenks said.

"Just look at what's going on in Washington: the bickering and the disrespect. It's really discouraging. And that's what I hope this video does: I hope that it gets around to a lot of young people so that they can see and remember that day when we were so passionate about helping each other, and using that day almost as an advantage to what we can do every day to change the world, as cheesy as that may sound," he added.

Over the course of the effort, Jenks concluded that, as Millennials, this young generation of Americans has an added advantage over their parents: Social media has documented virtually all of their lives. To learn from the past has never been easier than it is today.

"We have archived our lives through Facebook and Twitter, blogs, email, text," he said. "We can literally go back five years and look at what we were doing on a daily basis, and I think there's a lot that can come from that. We have the chance to really look back and reflect in an accurate way. In turn, we can really make sense of it and see what we can do to make the world a better place."

"Millennials Will Never Forget" can be seen on YouTube. For a personal note from Andrew Jenks on the project and to find out how you can pay tribute to 9/11 by taking action, head over to MTV Act.

Another year, another unbelievably action-packed Video Music Awards. As expected, viewers were treated to mind-blowing performances and several jaw-dropping surprises. The most unexpected moment came courtesy of Beyoncé Knowles, who not so subtly announced to the world that she and husband Jay-Z are expecting their first child.

When B unbuttoned her sparkly jacket and rubbed her belly with a knowing smile, after which the camera panned to a visibly elated Jay-Z and Kanye West cheering from the audience, the Nokia Theatre was bursting with warm and fuzzy well-wishes for the soon-to-be parents. And that very public moment of celebration was just the beginning.

When Beyoncé returned backstage to her dressing room, she was greeted by a team of people who enveloped the visibly happy star with hugs, cheers and congratulations.

"I'm free!" she said to one of the well-wishers, indicating that she and Jay are thrilled to not have to keep such a big secret any longer. "We're all free!" she said to the group.

A few minutes after her arrival backstage, she was joined by her husband, a very excited West (whose first words upon entering the dressing-room area were "Where is Beyoncé?" as if he could not wait to give B a huge hug) and her former Destiny's Child ladies, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. Even with the doors to their dressing rooms closed, the applause and whoops of joy could be heard everywhere backstage.

"That was an eventful night, to say the least," Jay, still smiling, said to some of the revelers in the hallway, who continued to shower him with congratulations and hugs.

The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards have wrapped, but the real action is just getting started! Stick with MTV News for winners, fashion pics, video and behind-the-scenes stories about everything that went down. Visit VMA.MTV.com for the latest.
