This is uniquely powerful in its choice to barely acknowledge the gunman who on August 1st, 1966 took the University of Texas hostage by climbing the campus tower and firing at civilians below, and instead allow the brave survivors to dictate the way this event is told and ed. It's harrowing to watch as they recall specific memories of the event (like a savior's hair color, or a part of the body that still re being preemptively ready to have a bullet penetrate it) and see them complimented by deeply expressive rotoscope animation reenactments that beautifully capture all the detailed, human moments and feelings that swirled around such a tragic day. In the end, it's those brief moments of humanity and bravery that are going to get us through events like these.
