Polytechnique [Blu-ray]

POLYTECHNIQUE (Blu-ray)

Young lives are forever changed when a gunman opens fire in a Canadian school, determined to kills as many women as possible.

A dramatization of the tragic Montreal Massacre, the events of the day are documented through the eyes of two student witnesses and the perpetrator, with the horrors of the carnage leaving a legacy far beyond the shooting itself
