Documentary Newtown Airs on PBS Tomorrow

Independent Lens will air the documentary "Newtown" on PBS tomorrow, Monday, April 3, beginning at 9:00 pm.

According to Independent Lens, the documentary is filmed over the course of nearly three years and uses deeply personal, never-before-heard testimonies to tell the story of the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting of schoolchildren in American history. 

Filmmaker Kim Snyder brings viewers into the lives and homes of those who remain, all of whom have been forever changed by the events of December 14, 2012.

"They speak candidly about their grief, anger, and disbelief over what occurred and their disappointment that nothing has truly changed in regards to the country’s legislative response to gun violence. Newtown bears witness to their profound grief and allows it to reverberate within our collective conscience, exploring what happens to a community after it becomes the epicenter of a national discussion, and what it must cope with after the cameras leave," says Independent Lens.
