A Note from Maysles Cinema:

The topic of gun violence in the United States, with the attendant political debate surrounding gun control, has always been a pressing consideration and issue in domestic United States culture and politics. Deaths related to gun violence are two to four times more common in the United States than in countries with a similar level of economic and political development. This violence has taken numerous forms with everything from political assassinations, armed militancy, riots, organized crime and the appalling, historically recent phenomenon of gun violence that takes place amongst the youth. In relation to gun violence amongst the youth, there are the occasional, brutal acts of seemingly psychopathic violence that erupt in schools like Columbine and Virginia Tech as well as the more common place but equally tragic violence that claims the lives of largely black and Latino youth growing up in America's poorer urban centers.
