On August 1, 1966, a shooting occurred at the University of Texas System . The murderer shot on the tower, killing 16 people. The film "Tower" officially records this event. It is not a documentary genre that we are familiar with everyday. The director Keith Maitland combined real archives and witness testimony to create a vivid horror effect in the form of animation. However, the value of the film also comes from the thinking it puts forward: What does it mean to let a stranger risk his life to save your life? "Tower" makes people look back at that kind of horror.
The director cleverly spliced the old film and the animation to truly restore the group portrait of the first random shooting incident in the University of Texas and the United States in 1966! Charles Whitman, a former marine sharpshooter, killed his wife and mother and then boarded the campus tower to kill 18 people and wounded 31 people! Until he was subdued by a civilian and two police officers who were familiar with the tower configuration.
