[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I should start a s/o ... But I'd never heard of a Dear Zachary until this thread. I love documentaries (not sure how this one slipped by). Is it that brutal? FWIW I have 2 under 3 and gravitate towards non fiction bc I love the human experience. But can't watch kids in pain since having my DDs. Will watching this be a bad decision? [/quote]

I would not watch it without knowing the story.  I knew the story before I saw it, and it was still very good, interesting, but sad.  But still really, really good!  Something very sad happens, but you've probably figured that out.  I've tried a few times to describe here what happens without giving it away, but I can't.  Just read the Wikipedia article and decide for yourself whether to watch.  I walked away being sad, but really struck by the amazing and wonderful people in the movie.  Andrew Bagby is a great example of an ordinary guy whose legacy is just being a really great person that everybody loved (the filmmaker made the movie about Andrew, his recently deceased friend, so that's not a spoiler).  We should all strive for such a life.[/quote]

Most suggest not reading anything about it before watching. To get the full impact the documentary filmmaker wants to make. [/quote]
