Blackbird (2012)

An alienated teen, Sean (Connor Jessop), life enters a living hell when he is falsely accused of plotting a 'Columbine' style shooting at his High School.

Well acted by a relatively unknown cast, this is an excellent sombre, grim and hard hitting drama of the consequences of when fantasy, he 'plots' a massacre of the school hockey team who constantly bully him, is mistaken by the authorities as a genuine serious plot of mass murder.

An excellent, low key drama dealing with a subject raw to the US public.
