The film 41, about the life of 18-year-old Nicholas O’Neill, the youngest victim of the Station nightclub fire, will be shown today, the sixth anniversary of the tragedy, and throughout the weekend at CinemaWorld at the Lincoln Mall.
The film, directed by Christian de Rezendes and Christian O’Neill, who is Nicholas’s older half-brother, features scenes from the one-act play, They Walk Among Us, that Nicholas wrote a year before he died. The play is about teenagers who die and return to Earth as angels.
The film also touches on the strange events that have happened to the O’Neill family since Nicholas’s death.
Proceeds from the screenings will benefit the Station Fire Memorial Foundation, which is dedicated to buying the land where the nightclub once stood and turning it into a permanent memorial to the 100 people who died there on the night of Feb. 20, 2003.
Showings of 41 will be at 7 tonight and 1 and 7 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday.
