‘April Showers’ fall in Denver

‘April Showers’ fall in Denver

May 1, 2009

Columbine High School shooting survivor Andrew Robinson created a film to help explain the horrors of that tragedy – and hopefully to prevent future atrocities.

But “April Showers,” out now in select cities, couldn’t find a Colorado theater to show the film.

That changes come Monday. The film will play at 8:30 p.m. at the AMC Westminster Promenade 24 Theater in Westminster, Colo.

Tickets for the first come, first serve screening go on sale May 1. Check out the film’s web site for more details.

For those outside the greater Denver area, the film will be available May 5 on DVD and via iTunes and IndieFlix.com.

Man, I’m just too skeptical to get all that interested in this. I hope it’s a good, solid story, but so many views of the killings at Columbine were and are so wrong that I’m not sure just how many of the public will ever get this thing right.

I’m reading Dave Cullen’s book “Columbine”, which is pretty much a ten year perspective on this. The book, at times, still renders the event with the feel of a distant event, something like the sensation I had from the news coverage that week back in ‘99. Even though our son was in class at CHS that morning, I hadn’t thought that much about how close we came to losing him until I started reading the book last week.

Many so-called adults who should have known better blew a chance to rescue victims, prevent the crimes, or report and deal honestly with the aftermath. To this day, it seems to divide a lot of angst-ridden people along the same lines as our current culture war. Perhaps when that struggle ends Columbine will come into focus for more of us.
