We Are Columbine

The mass shooting at Columbine High School was on April 20, 1999. 

It was the first of its kind in the United States-never before had their been a mass killing in a school. In the twenty years since the shooting, these incidents have unfortunately become commonplace.

Everyone that was there that day has a story to tell about the incident, whether they were injured or not. This documentary shows stories of several who were there that day, and lived to tell the tale. 

The film also shows the efforts of the school to move past that massacre. The incident still defines the school, yet it is not their legacy.

The film was made by a former student of Columbine who was there on that terrible day. The film is an exercise in healing the wounds from the incident. Survivors go back into the school, retrace their steps, and show viewers where they were and what they experienced that day.

Now streaming on Hulu, available on Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, Vudu. 4 stars.
