Dear Zachary

Last night, my girlfriend and I saw an amazing documentary at the Belcourt. First, I have to mention that I did not really know what to expect from the movie. It was something that I did want to see, but the movie far exceeded my expectations.

Let me give a small summary: A man by the name of Dr. Andrew Bagby was killed by his ex-girlfriend Dr. Shirley Turner. She fled to Canada where the legal system put her in jail (which she promptly left by posting bail). She was supposed to be extradited to the US to face trial for murder. Also, she turned out to be pregnant with Dr. Bagby's child. While she should have been in jail, the legal system failed and she was allowed to walk around free. Meanwhile, the parents of Dr. Bagby moved to Canada, gave up everything, to try to get custody of their son's son.

The documentary was made by Andrew Bagby's childhood friend with the purpose of showing the son all of the friends and family Dr. Bagby had in life. It was truly one of the most gut-wrenching movies I have ever seen. There were several parts where I had to bite back audibly sobbing. Both Katie and I cried several times while our eyes kept in a constant state of watering.

I highly recommend seeing it at the Belcourt. You won't be disappointed.

Also, since I didn't put the word "fuck" in this post or get angry, here it is. Fuck.
