Description

In the wake of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre that took the lives of 20 first graders and their teachers, local clergymen Father Bob Weiss receives a letter from a fellow priest in Dunblane, Scotland, whose community suffered an eerily similar fate in 1996. From across the Atlantic, the two priests forge a poignant bond through the shared experience of trauma and healing.

@Alunauwie

This documentary explores emotional parallels between two tragedies through the eyes of pastors rather than victims’ families, which weakens the impact and clarity of its message. While touching, the film struggles to deliver a focused lesson, especially regarding gun control, despite its promising concept. Greater emphasis on the victims’ experiences could have made it more powerful.
