Newtown is Kim A. Snyder’s film about the aftermath of the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, the deadliest mass shooting of schoolchildren in American history. Through poignant interviews with parents, siblings, teachers, doctors, and first responders, Newtown documents a community still reeling from the senseless killing, fractured by grief but driven toward a sense of purpose.
