    An incredibly difficult challenge to discover the humanity and reason behind the one who committed such a monstrous act. A fascinating investigation between a doctor and the patient that reveals much more than we'd expect. Important and well done.

    A very powerful investigation into the psyche of a young mass shooter. Meyers finds the humanity in such a troubled mind and our need as a society to understand why these things happen.
