 Rating:  - A great experience and a great movieI had the pleasure of being in this movie. I had just graduated highschool. I didn't really know anything.

I was at Kent State before, during, and after, the time of the shootings (1968-1975). I am VERY familiar with the University and the City of Kent. As a student, I was at the Commons on May 4th, during the time of the shootings. This video depicts a university and a town that neither resembles, nor honors, either Kent State University or the city. FACTS: There were no motorcycle gangs in Kent. Co-ed dormatories were not introduced until 1971-72. ... Read More Rating: - A fictional SPOOF about the shootings at Kent State.Personally, I was very interested in viewing this video.
