A documentary to watch with your children. Rather than the usual aging talking heads, the film uses Rotoscope animation and young actors to recreate that terrible day in August, 1966. Director Keith Maitland took this approach especially to reach a young audience, who, more than most of us, deal with the anxiety of possible encounters with mad shooters. The effect is fresh, immediate, and deeply moving. I especially appreciated the credit given to people who risked their lives for others, and that the shooter is not glamourized -- his face is unseen, and even his name is not mentioned until the end.
