The movie is based on a true story about the shooting that happened back in October 2006 at an Amish Schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. A gunman went into the school and ended up shooting ten young girls, five died, five survived. I wasn't sure about watching it at first, I wasn't sure what all would be shown, but I decided to go ahead once I looked it up on Amazon and saw mostly good reviews. I've always respected the Amish community, but I have even more respect for them now. You can find the movie at Amazon, click here.
