TOWER Feature Documentary

In 1966, a sniper climbed the bell tower at the University of Texas at Austin and began randomly gunning down passersby. Chaos ensued as people ran for shelter and gun-toting vigilantes outnumbered police. The film’s drama unfolds minute-by-minute as eyewitnesses and survivors recount the terror of that day. The blend of animation, narration and live action results in a gripping cinematic experience that reveals that tragic school shootings are hardly a new phenomenon. — Mimi Brody
