What happens

Dark Night is a 2016 American drama film directed by Tim Sutton. It is loosely based on the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting. For example, there are some differences in the film versus the event: the film is set in Florida, whereas the shooting occurred in Colorado; the identities of the Aurora shooter and the victims are altered in the film. It was screened in the Horizons section at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival. The film was shot in Sarasota, Florida. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
