Raising a School Shooter

About This Movie

Raising a School Shooter dives into the harrowing reality faced by parents when their child becomes a perpetrator of violence. It’s an unsettling documentary, blending real-life interviews and raw emotions. The pacing feels contemplative, almost haunting at times, as it captures the aftermath of the tragic events. Jeff Williams' candid reflections on his son Andy, who committed a school shooting, lend a personal, chilling perspective that you don't often see. The film's unique focus on familial fallout rather than the crime itself sets it apart. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with regret and confusion, which resonates deeply. Performances—if we can call them that—are painfully real, and it's this authenticity that lingers long after the credits roll.
