Montclair Film Festival - starts April 29

The Montclair Film Festival starts April 29th. This year we have a selection of documentaries that delve into our most important global issues­ including gun control, social justice, civil rights, and freedom of expression. Visit us at: www.montclairfilmfest.org Some of my favorites include: Newtown - Kim Snyder’s NEWTOWN is the story of the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting of schoolchildren in American history. Kate Plays Christine - In 1974, television host Christine Chubbuck committed suicide on air at a Sarasota, Florida, news station. Widely considered the first televised suicide in history, the story and facts behind the event remain mostly unknown. Tower - TOWER reveals the tense, untold stories of the witnesses, heroes, and survivors of America’s first mass school shooting, when the worst in one man brought out the best in so many others. Do Not Resist - Craig Atkinson’s timely documentary DO NOT RESIST is an urgent investigation into the militarization of American police departments.
