FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, MELODY HERZFELD, THE THEATER DIRECTOR at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, began an annual tradition of producing a show for local elementary school children. That’s what her 65 students were rehearsing on the day 19-yearold Nikolas Cruz shot and killed 17 teenagers and staff members at the Parkland, Florida, school. Nearly one year after the massacre, Amy Schatz’s 30-minute documentary Song of Parkland (premiering February 7 on HBO) tells the story of Herzfeld and her students on that day and in the months that followed.
