We Are Columbine

This documentary doesn't solely focus on the tragedy that happened April 20,1999 but instead on the lives of a few students that were freshman at the time and what their experiences were before, during, and after the shooting. It was a great perspective to see and I found it just as harrowing as the gory details of that day. I was a freshman in high school at the same time and I remember this day and seeing it all unfold on the news like it was yesterday. I would recommend this film. The only criticism I have is that the film maker didn't tell her story.

Very well done. I was pleasantly surprised to not hear the names of the shooters once throughout the movie. It was all about the victims, the trauma they've experienced, and the community that has grown from the ashes.

I pray that making this documentary helps each and everyone of you. It was truly an insight on how one person's actions can having last affects. I want to thank each on of you for sharing your story. In today's world unfortunately we need to keep one eye open for quick exits. Love and prayers Jennifer

It's been 20 years since the Columbine High School Massacre, and this documentary was made by one of the survivors, as she sits down exclusively with a handful of others (including her friends) who were willing to revisit that horrible day. The doc does a good job building up to the event, and each person's account remains surprisingly vivid and terrifying even after all these years. Some of the interviewees haven't walked these halls since it happened, so it's chilling to watch them do so. The doc smartly stays away from asking "Why?" And instead focuses on how these people have healed over the past two decades. It feels very therapeutic.

"We Are Columbine" takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions, and it's hard to find the right star rating for a documentary about such a tragic event. The film is okay, not outstanding, but it does offer a heartfelt look at the survivors of the Columbine High School shooting. The personal stories and interviews provide a humanizing perspective on the tragedy, which makes it worth watching.

However, it's frustrating that after tragedies like Columbine, the government often refuses to take action to prevent similar events, citing the Second Amendment. It's like they're hugging the Second Amendment tighter than a stuffed teddy bear, forgetting that lives are at stake. The lack of change has allowed other horrifying incidents like Robb, Sandy Hook, and Stoneman Douglas to happen. So, while "We Are Columbine" offers a window into the past, it's a stark reminder of how much work remains to be done to ensure such events are prevented in the future.
