A new movie recently released titled “The Fallout” came out on Friday, January 28th. The movie featured a storyline of a school shooting, and the aftermath and trauma the individuals went through. 

The movie was released on HBO Max, and has been a hit ever since on social media. While watching the movie it was extremely emotional, although the movie was not a true story it’s a sad fact that these things still happen each and every day. I do recommend watching the movie if one can emotionally withandle the trauma portrayed, it was a huge eye opener for the post trauma. 

Many of the movies and documentaries that I have watched based on the subject solely focus on the event. I really enjoyed how this movie gave an alternate perspective of how it affects others individually. After an event such as that it’s not just over once the event is over, it’s something you carry with you. 

Starring Madison Zeigler and Jenna Ortega, “The Fallout” shows how after two strangers experience a horrific event it draws them to become very close. It also focused on each of their journeys following the event, and the anxiety they faced after it.
