Description

A documentary that uses a mix of archival footage, animation and survivor interviews to tell the harrowing story of two teenagers who were assaulted and left to die in a burning house. One of the victims, Tyler Pleke, survived. His physical recovery from the horrific attack was difficult, but his greatest challenge was learning to forgive. More than just your average true crime doc, this film explores the concept of forgiveness through Pelke’s remarkable resilience and his community’s journey toward healing from the crime that still haunts them.
