Twenty years ago, on April 20, 1999, two high school seniors barraged into their high school, Columbine High, and killed 13 people.
The shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, both died by suicide.
Columbine was the beginning of a rapid rise in school shootings and there were many questions after the massacre, some of which fell on the parents of the shooters. How could those parents miss that their children were plotting the attack?
The documentary, “American Tragedy,” which premieres at the Boston Film Festival, tries to answer some of those questions.
It profiles Sue Klebold, Dylan Klebold’s mother, and examines what lessons Americans should take away from the tragedy.
