A One of a Kind Documentary

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)
Directed by Kurt Kuenne, not rated, 95 minutes

Dear Zachary is a deeply moving and gut wrenching documentary about a filmmaker who decides to make a film to memorialize his murdered friend, after he finds out his friend's ex-girlfriend is pregnant. Where most documentaries are filled with data and statistics, this film has raw emotion and the painful truth. Few documentaries or films can pack the emotional punch this film has, and no film I've seen can match the personal and intense feel of the film. Dear Zachary is a heartbreaking and exhausting film, with a story that can't help but stay with for a long time to come. You'll like it if: You like films about family, crime documentaries, The Changeling or The Thin Blue Line.
