ZACK AND ADDIE, A Documentary Film

ZACK AND ADDIE is an un-sensationalized look at a shocking topic. This film explores the possible root causes of the internationally notorious 2006 Zack Bowen / Addie Hall French Quarter murder-suicide. ZACK AND ADDIE’s subject matter cries out for scrutiny and reflection. Incidents of this magnitude usually don’t happen in a vacuum. This tragedy could be dismissed as just bad chemistry between two star-crossed lovers, but many knowledgeable sources attribute it to monumental influences, including watershed milestones in U.S. history. This documentary does not offer a single, tidy explanation; rather, it presents theories from varying and at times contradictory viewpoints. In exploring this confounding, mysterious crime, the documentary raises as many questions as it answers. As Voodoo Priestess Miriam Chimani says in the film: “We have to look a little deeper to get further understanding.” The screening will be followed by a talkback with the film's subjects.
