4.2 starsDear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father
Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne's poignant tribute to his murdered childhood friend, Andrew Bagby, tells the story of a child custody battle between the baby's grieving grandparents and Shirley Turner, Bagby's pregnant ex-girlfriend and suspected killer. Initially, Kuenne made this documentary as a memorial for Andrew's loved ones, but it morphs into an emotional legal odyssey when Turner goes free on bail and is allowed to raise her son.

This is a story about parents who have loved their child more than life
"We flew to Canada to retrieve his body, do all the rituals associated and then kill ourselves, becuase, there was no reason to go on."
You will want to know these people, and their dead son.
And the grandchild they fought to get custody.
I can say no more without giving it up.
It is five stars and TWO boxes of Kleenex.
