Have you ever heard of the infamous “Killdozer” tragedy that took place in Granby, Colorado in 2004? Well, there’s a documentary coming to Netflix, titled Tread, that details the incident and everything that lead up to it.
A man named Marvin Heemeyer was pushed to his breaking point and ended up fortifying a bulldozer with 30 tons of concrete and steel and embarking on a mission to destroy anyone he believed had wronged him. Here’s the synopsis:
On June 4th, 2004, a sixty-three-ton bulldozer, fortified with steel and concrete, systematically destroyed numerous businesses and homes in the small mountain town of Granby, Colorado. The rampage lasted over two hours and resulted in more than eight million dollars in damage. State and local police were incapable of even slowing the machine. Though it was armed with three high-powered firearms, no one but the driver was killed. His name was Marvin Heemeyer. Tread explores the polarizing perspectives on this man, his motives, and what drove him to the breaking point.
Tread was directed by Paul Solet (Grace, Dark Summer, and Bullet Head), and it will be released on February 28th, 2020. Check out the trailer for this fascinating yet tragic story.
