momtotkbb Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 When I was in high school a movie was out - maybe a made for TV because I seem to recall watching w/ my parents. It was called Kent State the movie. Just did a quick search - here it is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082608/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks. This looks like exactly what I need but I can't get it on Netflix. It doesn't seem to be at my library. I'll check to see if my library can get it from another location. But it seems pretty obscure. I wonder if there are any other movies about Kent State. It seems like there should be. At the very least it seems like there should be a documentary from PBS or the History Channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That last link actually had a video that we were able to watch today. It was about 45 minutes long which was just about the perfect length. Thank you!
