Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father

When Kurt Kuenne's childhood friend Andrew Bagby is murdered, he sets out to make a documentary showing Andrew's infant son, Zachary, what his father was like. But there's a twisted wrinkle to this story: Andrew's likely murderer is the boy's mother.
Kuenne hit the road immediately after learning of Andrew's murder in 2001, interviewing Andrew's relatives and friends everywhere from the United Kingdom to the hospital in Pennsylvania where Andrew had just begun his residency. Meanwhile Andrew's accused murderer, Shirley Turner, had fled to Canada before facing charges, and Andrew's parents, David and Kate, moved there to ensure her extradition and trial. Soon after, Turner discovered she was pregnant with Andrew's child, and David and Kate turned their focus to ensuring they would get custody of their only grandchild. Dear Zachary's emotional intimacy is its greatest strength, and enough to get it through sections that seem more manipulative than meaningful.
