ORIGINAL STORY:

Just ahead of the four-year anniversary of the Oct. 2018 shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill that killed 11, HBO is set to release a new documentary detailing the attack and the aftermath on the community.

The documentary, called “A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting,” will premiere on Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. on HBO and HBO Max. Three prominent Pittsburgh natives – Michael Keaton, Billy Porter and Mark Cuban — served as executive producers.

“The film is rooted in a community in the aftermath of a violent attack, as they work to rebuild and heal,” HBO says in the description of the documentary. “Despite core differences, they come together to determine what justice looks like and how to best move forward while honoring and learning from the past. The film sheds light on the collective trauma suffered by a tight-knit group and brings into sharp focus the hate-based rhetoric that surrounds many of the mass shootings today, threatening the fabric of our society.”
