YOUR RATING

This is the story of Kent State University students questioning racism,
violence against protesters, and the long American involvement in the
Vietnam War. On May 4, 1970, the National Guard shot thirteen of them,
killed four, and all were forever changed. Few of us realize the
significance of this event in the history of civil rights or that this was no
accident in a sleepy heartland town.This film examines the story and the
shock that immediately traumatized millions of students across the
country.
