5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should watch this movie, January 27, 2009

This review is from: Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (DVD)

I watched this film the last time they showed it on MSNBC. It has an agenda that becomes apparent towards the end. For the most part however it is a devastating look into the lives of a family that has been through hell. I am a 27 year old construction worker and consider myself to be emotionally sound. That being said, this movie made me cry almost continually. You can't help but feel so much empathy for the principal characters. I would be leery of anybody who didn't tear up when watching this movie. If you don't cry for these people you are incapable of feeling for others. It's that powerful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Justice System That Denied Justice to the One Who Needed It Most, December 15, 2008

I have never seen a documentary have such an impact on me. The Justice system that failed Zachary's grandparents, and Zachary, was a travesty gone wrong in every possible way. I never saw such ludicrous laws that allowed this to happen. I spent 25 years working in Federal Corrections and worked with virtually every LEA in our country. Kurt poured out his heart and soul to this child and did so without holding anything back, telling Zachary the truth about everything. Several of us were discussing it and we're still in a state of disbelief that this could happen. My heart goes out to Andrew's parents and his co-workers at the hospital, who loved him like a brother. Justice has been served but it took a difficult battle to get the laws changed, to ensure this never happens again.

Because it will haunt you. I read reviews, wikipedia articles, Amazon, etc.. and I still wasn't prepared for the emotional 90 minute roller coaster this film sends me on. If you have children, young or old, it hits 5x harder. If you have friends that you grew up with, this will hit hard. Just a great film about a tribute to a friend, a tribute to a great set of parents, and the impact one man can have. Everyone should see this film.
