Movie #78 "Dear Zachary" -- I don't usually watch those channels late at night that investigate a case of murder, so I don't really know how this compares with made for t.v films on the subject of murder.. I have seen enough CSI, etc., to say the story is not original at all. But what IS good about this, is the editing, the "Telling" of this very personal story of a very good friend who would work on all this guy's films as he was growing up.............and that's what makes it a very good, personal tribute to him and to his parents, who went through so much. I just sat and watched for the 93 minutes. Never blinked ---- never needed something to eat or drink. I stayed with it, and found the story and the film very effective. But oh so sad.

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
(2008) NR
Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne's poignant tribute to his murdered childhood friend, Andrew Bagby, tells the story of a child custody battle between the baby's grieving grandparents and Shirley Turner, Bagby's pregnant ex-girlfriend and suspected killer. Initially, Kuenne made this documentary as a memorial for Andrew's loved ones, but it morphs into an emotional legal odyssey when Turner goes free on bail and is allowed to raise her son.
