Some documentaries do not just tell a story, they make you feel every emotion, leaving you stunned, heartbroken, or profoundly moved. The most powerful ones linger in your mind long after the credits roll, forcing you to reflect on life, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father is one such film, known for its devastating yet deeply personal storytelling, a kind of documentary that seizes your heart and refuses to let go.

For those who seek the documentary's heartbreak, the search for this sorrowful masterpiece on Netflix becomes a quiet plea. 

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father is not available on Netflix, but its impact remains undeniable. Directed by Kurt Kuenne, the documentary began as a personal tribute to his childhood friend, Dr. Andrew Bagby, who was murdered in 2001. As Kuenne gathered interviews and memories, the project took an unfortunate turn, exposing the failures of the legal system and the devastating consequences that followed. What was meant to be a gift for Bagby's son became a harrowing account of loss, injustice, and grief that is almost too painful to bear.

For those eager to witness this emotional journey, Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father is available to stream in the United States on Amazon Prime Video, Pluto TV, and Tubi, offering viewers a chance to experience its devastating yet powerful storytelling.
