Description

On November 5, 2001, Dr. Andrew Bagby was murdered in a parking lot in western Pennsylvania; the prime suspect, his ex-girlfriend Dr. Shirley Turner, promptly fled the United States for St. John's, Canada, where she announced that she was pregnant with Andrew's child. She named the little boy Zachary. Filmmaker Kurt Kuenne, Andrew's oldest friend, began making a film for little Zachary as a way for him to get to know the father he'd never meet. But when Shirley Turner was released on bail in Canada and was given custody of Zachary while awaiting extradition to the U.S., the film's focus shifted to Zachary's grandparents, David & Kathleen Bagby, and their desperate efforts to win custody of the boy from the woman they knew had murdered their son. What happened next, no one ever could have foreseen…

    I ugly cried, laughed and got so livid watching this. It was so well documented and the way this documentary makes you feel is phenomenal. I’m a doc junkie and this is the best I’ve seen. RIP Dr. Bagby.

    I've never been compelled to write a review on a movie..until now..there are really just no words for this one. It's gut-wrenching and heart-warming all at once, and it's so much more than just a movie. I'm just kind of stunned. It's the best documentary I've ever seen
