Forster's next major producing project was the Emmy Award-winning documentary miniseries "Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero", which he created and co-executive produced with Steven Spielberg. "Rising" aired on the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel on September 11, 2011, ten years after the attack on the World Trade Center; in deference to the significance of the project, "Rising" aired commercial-free, and had a simultaneous international premiere. In six one-hour episodes, filmed over a three-year period, the series chronicles the vast effort to rebuild and reimagine lower Manhattan in the wake of 9/11. Rising was one of five nominees for the 2012 Emmy Award for Outstanding Historical Programming—Long Form, and won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in a Craft: Graphic Design and Art Direction (Dbox), as well as won for Promotional Announcement.
