À propos de ce film

August 1st 1966 was the day our innocence was shattered. A sniper rode the elevator to the top floor of the iconic University of Texas Tower and opened fire, holding the campus hostage for 96 minutes in what was a previously unimaginable event. TOWER combines archival footage with rotoscopic animation of the dramatic day, based entirely on first person testimonies from witnesses, heroes and survivors, in a seamless and suspenseful retelling of the unfolding tragedy. The film highlights the fear, confusion, and visceral realities that changed the lives of those present, and the rest of us, forever - a day when the worst in one man brought out the best in so many others.

Notes et avis

Maitland is wise to avoid sensational interest in the killer and instead to feature the most foully victimized's compassion...BRAVO!

Two things: You haven't seen anything like it & You must see it. So powerful

Powerful documentary style reenactments, and exceptionally fine rotoscoped animation masterpiece!
