The documentary that tells the story of “Dark Elegy”.

“Because I was one of them…” —Suse Lowenstein

“Art is a wound turned to light.”
— Georges Braque

When Suse Lowenstein’s son was murdered in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, she leaned on her art, sculpting herself and 75 fellow mothers “stripped” and in the position they fell upon hearing the news. The resultant sculpture garden “Dark Elegy” now resides in the garden of Suse’s Montauk, New York home. As the 73-year-old Suse grapples with a dying husband and her own mortality, she must determine the fate of this controversial memorial to the victims of a brutal attack that altered American history.
