April Showers, written and directed by Andrew Robinson, is a feature film inspired by the events that took place at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 and the days that followed. Robinson, a senior at Columbine High School at the time of the shootings, crafts a tale that focuses on the survivors of such an event as they try and pick up the pieces and gain understanding amidst the chaos and turmoil.
Plot: A look inside a tragedy through the eyes of a survivor. Based on actual events, April Showers is about picking up the pieces in the direct aftermath of school violence. Set in a middle class suburban neighborhood, April Showers focuses on the lives of a handful of teachers and students as they attempt to make sense of a world that has just been turned upside down by one of their own. With the community and an entire nation caught up in the ‘story’, the students of Jefferson High must turn to one another for answers. In the wake atrocity, the rifts caused by misinformation and a frenzied media prove difficult to overcome. Lost and lonely under the international spotlight, one young man navigates his way through his almost indiscernible home. From quaint suburban town to battlefield turned media circus, Jefferson High provides the backdrop for Sean’s struggle to cope with the loss of his friend April.
