Dear Zachary (NR) 8.0

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008): A filmmaker decides to memorialize a murdered friend when his friend's ex-girlfriend announces she is expecting his son. (8.6)

Director: Kurt Kuenne
Writer: Kurt Kuenne
Stars: Kurt Kuenne, Andrew Bagby, David Bagby, Kathleen Bagby

This movie tells a remarkable story. It is a real story; so, it is a documentary. Parts of the documentary are filmed while the story is evolving, and as such, it is done in real time. Other parts are done with very good use of archive footage. Ultimately, it is a story about quite a remarkable set of people. Quite Moving. (Don't read about the story if you are going to watch it.) My Rating: 8.0
