Tower

Documentary, Animation, Crime

Animation, testimony, and archival footage combine to relate the events of August 1, 1966 when a gunman opened fire from the University of Texas clock tower, killing 16 people.

The critical consensus

This is a remarkable and profoundly moving film with a desperately important message – for those reasons and more it demands to be seen.

*****Matthew Turner, The List, 30/01/2017

This is a morbid but very original film which manages both to be reflective and dramatic.

****(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 01/02/2017

Mixing animation, film and verbatim accounts, this bold memorial of the first school massacre in Texas in 1966 is compelling and terribly sad.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 02/02/2017

An intense, incredibly emotional film.

****(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 03/02/2017

Animation and eyewitness accounts read by actors bring tension and emotion to this account of the day a sniper killed 16 at the University of Texas in 1966.

****(*)Wendy Ide, The Observer, 05/02/2017
