Believe me, I don't lightly rate low an

Believe me, I don't lightly rate low an important documentary like this one. It simply was too long. I eventually shut it off. The story is incredibly important. Especially now, as this nation is becoming more and more fractured. I wish the filmmaker would have delved a little deeper into the individuals who were lost, instead of concentrating so much on those left behind.

even more relevant in the years since

Just last week a white supremacist shot a group of Black folks in Florida. One of many hate crimes in the past few years. That makes "A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting" all the more relevant.

The documentary features interviews with the survivors of the shooting (one might call it a terrorist attack, don't you think?). There's also an emphasis on how many communities came together to support the synagogue, and its significance in the rash of racist violence over the past decade (and the documentary makes clear which individual emboldened the racists).

Not the best documentary ever, but worth seeing, especially as certain politicians and celebrities have normalized anti-Jewish sentiment.

The documentary includes a song belted out by Idina Menzel.
