ANYONE IN IT WE KNOW?

WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

This heart wrenching TV movie stars Debra Winger in a true life tale as Dawn Anna Townsend whose life is really put through the wringer. If the movie wasn't true you wouldn't think that one woman could stand to go through so much and come out the other side.   

Dawn Anna is a hardworking volleyball coach at Columbine High, she's a single mum but has just met a new man, suddenly though her world collapses when she is diagnosed with a brain tumour. After a huge bout of surgery Dawn Anna has to learn to start over again but her family rally round to help pull her through. Just when it looks like things are about to make a turn for the better, a pair of teenagers go on a gun rampage at Columbine High School killing her teenage daughter Lauren. 

Dawn Anna is definitely a three hankie movie, a real tearjerker that leaves you in shock. Debra Winger has suffered on screen before of course, most notably in Terms of Endearment and she does a brilliant job here, she hasn't made a movie for a while so it was great to see her back here. Being a TV movie (originally made for the Lifetime Channel) Dawn Anna probably won't get the recognition it deserves which is a shame because it is an emotionally charged movie with images that will stay with you for a long time after its watching. 

Dawn Anna is definitely worth seeking out. 

TRIVIA
