Description

The definitive story is told here for the first time. The haunting
photograph of Mary Vecchio poised in anguish over the
body of a slain student. The fervor of the wounded student activist
still consumed by the need for justice 30 years later. The
former Guardsman living with a badge of shame few could imagine.

Some choose to forget. Others fight to keep their
bitter lessons alive for new generations . Try as they may, the entire
cast of survivors cannot escape the questions and the accusations
that fly as each anniversary comes and goes.


KENT STATE: THE DAY THE WAR CAME HOME is a portrait of the
pain shared by an entire nation. After 40 years, the blood stains
are not forgotten.

Featuring music by Creedence Clearwater Revival and Jefferson Airplane.
