Charlie Minn, a Long Island filmmaker, will be releasing “Parkland: Inside Building 12,” a documentary about the Parkland mass shooting, on Monday, Sept. 24 at the Bellmore Playhouse.
Minn interviews victims that were present at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, the day of the shooting, such as Maddy Wilford, who was shot but survived. Through the interviews and real-life footage from inside the school, the focus is kept on the victims, highlighting the raw emotion that followed a tragedy that left 17 killed.
“I am a ‘victim-driven’ filmmaker,” Minn wrote on the website for the documentary, insidebuilding12.com. “For the average person who follows the news, ask them to name the Parkland killer, and they will go one-for-one, then ask them to name one person shot in Parkland, and they will probably go zero for 34. I am trying to change this entire dialogue.”
If you cannot make Monday's premiere, the documentary can still be supported for its minimum week-long run at the Playhouse starting on Friday, Sept. 28. Daily show times are 1:30 p.m., 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
