Yes.

Low rating could be because of the subject matter, that it's a documentary, that it's victim/participant pov but excludes the shooter.

I thought it was a really clever way of telling the story. The animation makes the participants the age they were then, which 'modernizes' a 50 year old story, and it's inter-cut with period footage to reinforce the animation.

Watched the documentary, 'Tower' on Netflix. It's available for streaming or DVD rental.

It's obviously about the Aug. 1, 1966, UT shooting. It's a hybrid of archival footage and animation, multi-POV, first person narration. It's really well done, tragic of course, and only anti gun at the very end when they play Uncle Walter espousing his viewpoint.

Two thumbs up.
