Newtown Documentary Being Screened at Sundance

Newtown, CT-- A documentary about the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting will be screened at the Sundance Film Festival.

The documentary was filmed over the course of nearly three years. It will premiere in the US Documentary Competition at Sundance in January 2016.

“Newtown documents a traumatized community fractured by grief and driven toward a sense of purpose,” according to the documentary’s website. “Joining the ranks of a growing club to which no one wants to belong, a cast of characters interconnect to weave an intimate story of community resilience.”

Director/producer Kim Snyder has made more than a dozen short documentaries. Her most recent film Welcome To Shelbyville was nationally broadcast on PBS’s Independent Lens in 2011.
