Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
Dear Zachary is a 2008 award-winning documentary.
Plot: Written and filmed originally as a tribute to a friend, this documentary is a bit of nostalgic piece and a bit of crime drama. A man is murdered and the suspected killer is not only that man's ex-girlfriend, but also pregnant with his child. It sounds like an open and shut case, but what happens when the court system fails and allows the suspected killer to raise the baby?
My Take: I can't say much more than this without ruining the documentary for you. I will warn you: this is extremely difficult to watch. It is heart-wrenching. This would have been a very worthy tribute to the slain man, but then it morphs into a chronicle of his family's struggle to take his son away from the woman who may have killed him. Even despite the difficult subject matter, this is a must see.
