Review of Dawn Anna (2005) by Alexandra L — 09 Feb 2009

I love this movie and have it in my heart. It's a very tragic drama film about a family that is torn apart by the lack of a father and the difficulties they have to overcome in the process. It is also based on true events- the life of Dawn Anna- a mother of four and a high school teacher whose life changed after her 18-year-old daughter, Lauren Townsend, became one of the 12 random murder victims of the Columbine massacre in 1999.

It's a tremendous blow of honesty and pain, filled with the tragedy that only a few films successfully capture and deliver. Wonderful and stunning, a true heart-breaker.
