"I would definitely recommend this documentary as well as Sue Klebold’s novel. It was very interesting to hear her thoughts as being the mother of a school shooter, as well as how she doesn’t play it off. She acknowledges what Dylan (and Eric) did, and feels horrible about it. She doesn’t try and say it wasn’t Dylan’s fault, which is what I see a lot of people saying. She knows her son was just as much as a part of Columbine as Eric. "
"So very well done. While the documentary primarily focused on Sue Klebold's "journey" as Columbine shooter Dylan Klebold's mother, the focus was still kept on the importance of mental wellness in our educational system as well as in our parenting. I enjoyed it very much & had been afraid it would leave me depressed yet the opposite occurred. I am hopeful that those who are raising & implementing awareness of this preventative need will lend to a kinder & gentler society as a whole. "
