A month after prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Alec Baldwin in the fatal Rust tragedy, he’s joined the cast of an upcoming film about the 1970 Kent State shootings.

The movie, written and directed by Karen Slade, depicts the tragic events of May 4, 1970, when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on an anti-Vietnam War student protest at Kent State University, killing four and wounding nine others.
