Newtown Documentary Airs On PBS April 3
News Week

On April 3, 2017, the documentary of Newtown airs public on PBS. The documentary that has been in the making for three years will air on PBS at 9 p.m. ET/PT, 8 p.m. CT/MT

Although April 3rd will be the first time I personally will be seeing the documentary, I highly advise others to watch it.

In a post by Sandy Hook Promise:

"The filmmakers behind Newtown use unique access and never-before-heard testimonies to tell a story of the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting of school children in American history on December 14, 2012. Newtown documents a traumatized community fractured by grief and driven toward a sense of purpose."

With being a Sandy Hook resident a part of the town of Newtown, Connecticut, I have witnessed first-hand the 'beauty that comes from ashes' and what it means to be a part of a loving and close-knit community. And most of all... LOVE WINS.

I am eager to see the film and how it has traced the events of what happened on December 14th of 2012 in my hometown of Sandy Hook. I find it very important for others to learn about the tragedy as well as how critical it is to remain together in our communities. I also find it imperative to understand how precious life is and the importance of loving one another.

Please, if any of you have availability during this time on April 3, to please consider watching the Newtown documentary, as it is something in life very dear to my heart and the hearts of many.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
