This powerful DVD looks at 13 lives now gone and remembers them: Cassie, Steven, Corey, Kelly, Matthew, Daniel, Dan, Dave, Rachel, Isaiah, John, Lauren, and Kyle. There were 13 lives taken tragically at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. However, it wasn’t just their lives, 12 students and a teacher, but the lives of families and friends who were and still to this day are affected. And that includes a survivor who appreciates her life despite being bound to a wheel chair.
The lessons learned from these families include the fact that they love and miss their departed family member to this day, and that if not for hope they could not have continued on. All of them talk of the pain they endured and the tears are still shed to this day. The family attends a recently constructed memorial and they reflect on the lives of the special people they were and how they live on in their hearts and memories.
One parent has gone on to not fight against the right to own guns but for stricter gun control while another parent travels to high schools and speaks about ways to keep the Columbine tragedy from ever happening again. He gets some hugs from several students and a few wipe tears away. One woman says that God and Christ help her deal with anger. This compelling DVD is educational as well as a piece of our tragic history. It is well made and will touch many viewers. We are honored to award this DVD our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages twelve plus.
