Dear Zachary
Dear Zachary
Year: 2008
Director: Kurt Kuenne
Rotten Tomatoes: 94%
Plot: After his childhood friend Andrew Bagby is murdered, filmmaker Kurt Kuenne begins making a film for Andrew's unborn son, Zachary, filled with interviews and home movies documenting the father he will never know. The project becomes something much larger as the case surrounding Andrew's murder develops.
Marcela Notes: I am asking you very nicely to not look up anything about this movie before you watch it to maximize your suffering. One of the most devastating documentaries I've seen.Â
Fun Fact: Kuenne originally intended the project primarily as a personal film for Zachary rather than as a conventional documentary for theatrical release.
