Documentary Shooting

You'll probably be aware of Super Columbine Massacre, RPG! and have an opinion on it. I certainly do, and have expanded it at length over at the Escapist a way back. That article is more in its defense, and I lobbed some of my - many - problems with it over at my personal blog at the same time. Its creator, Danny Ledonne, trying to make sense of the whole thing has been working on a documentary called Playing Columbine for a while now, and has lobbed a rough cut of a 13 minute section online.

It's worth watching.

This article contained embedded media which can no longer be displayed.

The story behind this release is also worth relating. He was actually urged to do so by a survivor of Dawson College Shooting. Joel Kornek mailed Ledonne after his game had been (wrongly) linked to Kimveer Gill's rampage, upset that he'd made the game. This prompted a lengthy correspondence about both Ledonne's motivation for making the game and the media's desire to use it as an easy scape-goat. Eventually, Kornek asked Ledonne if he could feature one section on Kornek's website, Kill Thinking. It's the segment that's been released. And, as i said before, it's worth watching.
