The Love We Make is a cinéma vérité film directed by Albert Maysles that documents Paul McCartney's activities in New York City following the September 11, 2001 attacks. The documentary highlights McCartney's initiative to produce The Concert for New York City, a benefit show dedicated to supporting emergency responders. At the time of the attacks, McCartney was traveling back to the UK but promptly took action to help heal the city through this event. The film provides an inside look at his preparations and behind-the-scenes moments with fellow artists.
The documentary debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2011, coinciding with its theatrical release in Japan. It was broadcast on Showtime on September 10, 2011, just before the tenth anniversary of the attacks. On December 6, 2011, Eagle Rock Entertainment issued the film on both DVD and Blu-ray formats.
Its title is inspired by a lyric from The Beatles' track "The End."
