This is a story everyone must see. Based on the shootings at Columbine, and the brave student who professed her love for Jesus Christ. You will never look at your children the same way again. Please watch this story of Rachel Joy Scott. You will see your life differently.

This is a fantastic movie and very tragic at the same time. Highly recommend.

Great

Nice spiritual movie

Let's be clear; this is a movie about the life of Rachel Scott and how she impacted those around her. This is NOT a movie about the columbine massacre. If that's what you're looking for, don't watch this. I just got done reading so many negative reviews about how this movie is nothing about columbine (it's not supposed to be) and how it's just Christian propaganda (She WAS a devout Christian, and that's a big role in why she's so memorable).Rachel Scott is an inspiration. To be completely fair, the movie itself wasn't overly exciting or interesting. But it's something I'm glad I own. It's so uplifting and inspiring, and I highly recommend it. Watching this girls life will make you want to be a better person.I've seen the accuracy of the events called into question, but I have to say, it doesn't make a huge difference. It doesn't matter if it wasn't 100% true. Yes, some things were played up for theatrics, but that doesn't change the message. And it definitely doesn't change the person she was.So, yes, this movie is about Christianity. Not the biblical stories, or anything too deep. But it's about a young girls views on religion. And how it shaped her life, and motivated all her actions. Ultimately, she made herself be a better person, because she thought that was what was right. And I think we could all connect with that, regardless of our religion. So if you're mature and can handle someone loving God, even if it's not what you personally believe in, I urge you, try this movie.

Wonderful and powerful movie

The relatively easy availability of guns or rifles (protected by the US Constitution) is often cited as the cause of such a high frequency of school shootings. However, the movie 'I'm Not Ashamed' takes weapons for granted and does not focus on them. Instead, it adds another cause to school shootings: the intensity of bullying. The movie centers on one of the most gruesome school shootings in the USA, that of Columbine High School, Colorado. 12 students and 1 teacher passed away, 24 people were injured. The movie suggests that bullying might indirectly cause school shootings.Bullying is a serious problem, and one of the negative consequences is that it breeds true hatred. This can have repercussions not only on the bullied individuals but also on those who sympathize with the bullied and/or think bullying shouldn't happen.Before writing this review, I looked up some research, and it appears that anti-bullying laws in the USA have generated many positive outcomes for students on average (Rees, Sabia, Kumpas, JPAM). The extent of enforcement of these laws is not entirely clear, but it seems evident that they have saved lives.
