Following the attacks, which killed 2,977 people, Charles Wolf led a campaign to ensure that the families and dependents of the victims were fairly compensated. He was dissatisfied with the initial government-run September 11th Victim Compensation Fund and successfully pressured authorities to allocate funds more fairly to a larger number of people. His efforts were later featured in a Netflix movie titled Worth.
