The Doc. Film NEWTOWN is Anytown & Everytown

The doc. film NEWTOWN is not a film that will obtain universal viewing, althought it's intended for those who believe legislation that infringes on the 2nd Amendment is sacrosanct, for those who demand sensible gun restrictions and for those who have done nothing to ensure the passage of laws to eliminate the sale of assault weapons, insure criminal background checks and mandate against gun violence.  In other words, this film is intended for everyone.  December 14, 2012 is the day a heinous, bloody tragedy happened at Newtown Elementary School.  Twenty 1st students & 6 educators were murdered. This should've been prevented, could've been prevented and should never be permitted to happen again.  It's unconscionable & incredulous that this tragedy continues to play out & it hasn't resulted in sensible gun legislation outside the state of CT.  Despite Pres Obama's endorsement, regardless of testimony before congress of parents whose children were murdered by a mentally unstable individual with easy access to assult weapons & after he fatally shot his mother.  He broke into the local elementary school & causing a catastrophe that destroyed numerous lives forever.  The doc. doesn't depict gruesome details of the carnage.  There is heartbreaking testimony from parents & siblings of the victims hoping to keep alive the memory of loved ones.  It is also an in depth expression of grief, There are families fighting for a legacy aimed at ending gun violence.  We hear poignant interviews from first responders, educators and parents of students in school that devastating day.  A neighbor to the school ran out to dazed young students on his lawn, "They were quiet in their horror and abject fear."  The students told him "We can't go back we don't have a teacher."  The police chief said "Emotionally the world needs to know to understand it." This really happened and the families are terrified of forgetting their loved ones.  Society should fear complacency and the senseless continuous killings.  The doc. is a an empathetic, in-depth examination of grief.  Everyone should see this film.  I fear those who most need to see this film never will.  Worst, I fear adopting sensible gun restrictions will insensitively & insanely never come to pass.
