Negative Positive
Title: Compelling and intense (spoilers)
Review: What begins as a doculetter to Zachary about his father, a known psychopath, becomes the story of Zachary's grandparents' search for justice in the failed legal system. In the course of documenting the father's life for Zachary and the ping pong justice dance between the US and Canada, tragedies abound. Shot in gritty home video style, the film is deeply personal and compelling. Weaving childhood videos of Zachary's father, along with his grandparents and family friends, the story is told through their shock, their sadness, their anger. A creative approach to letting a story tell itself, this documentary is well done and nothing if not incites greater need to fight for swift justice and children's rights. In the words of Zachary's grandfather regarding justice, "The vast majority of good people are just stuck."
