Beautiful Boy 2010 - is a movie based on parents who sadly wake up one day, going about their daily activities only to learn that there has been an active shooter at their child's college.. The movie is gripping from start to finish and like any other parent I can only imagine how literally helpless one might feel.. The film is tragic and shows graphically how traumatic it was for them ..after all not only did they questions themselves.. but they have to deal with news, police, burial, family and friends.. The film does a great job at telling the story of those left behind and how they have literally no words when they know their son did an unspeakable despicable act but they also have to deal with losing their son.. A must see film..

Zero Day 2003 is a film directed by Ben Coccio about a school shooting.. it was inspired by the 1999 Columbine High School massacre and portrays two teens Andre Kriegman (based on Eric Harris) and Calvin Gabriel (based on Dylan Klebold) planning to attack their high school calling their plan "Zero Day".. along with keeping a video diary in which to chronicle their planning, motives and execution of the grisly assault.. This film is shocking and terrifying realistic.. Movie Link

Ben Coccio is said to have felt that shooters had feelings of superiority, and that "when other people don’t confirm that, it really gets under their skin."
