This documentary explores emotional parallels between two tragedies through the eyes of pastors rather than victims’ families, which weakens the impact and clarity of its message. While touching, the film struggles to deliver a focused lesson, especially regarding gun control, despite its promising concept. Greater emphasis on the victims’ experiences could have made it more powerful. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com) and (English version : uwiepuspita.com)
