There are some things no parent should ever have to say. In Kim A. Snyder's modest but devastating documentary Newtown, the father of Daniel Barden, one of the 20 children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, says that memories of his 7-year-old son's funeral are hazy. He adds, "We did manage to attend quite a few of the other children's funerals."
