SCHOOL SHOOTINGS DON’T JUST HAPPEN…THEY ARE PLANNED!

Newly released documentary, Any School, Any Time, follows a group of students, teachers and staff as they search for answers in the aftermath of a narrowly-averted school shooting in Green Bay, WI. On September 14, 2006 the police executed search warrants on the homes of two high school students and discovered sawed off shotguns, automatic weapons, homemade bombs, and the details of a conspiracy to blow up the school. The program traces the East H. S. case from discovery through the trial and aftermath. Woven in the documentary is news footage from the case, with references to national stories including Columbine and Virginia Tech.

Award-winning filmmakers, Dean Thomas and Alex Zacarias were on-site shortly after the incident, searching for the root causes of school shootings that turn our kids into cold-blooded killers.

This innovative documentary goes beyond the headlines and into the minds of students, examines the root causes of school shootings. The result is part crime drama, with investigators and lawyers sharing behind-the-scenes insight; part training manual for educators; and part testimonial for students and teachers frustrated that a proud school got an unfair rap. The Any School, Any Time documentary brings out controversies, dilemmas, theories, contradictions, and paradoxes on the global issue of school violence.

“This film, discussion and solution will give the academic community the tools they need to deal with school shootings. It’s perfect for any school-elementary through college,” says Director Alex Zacarias.
