Summary:

This dynamic documentary, made by a mother of a young African American male, questions the staggering number of shootings in communities across the country, with a focus on Chicago. It share the stories of the people involved in the reduction of gun violence, the perpetrators, and victims in order to put forward solutions. The media has attempted to normalize gun violence, especially in Chicago by ignoring it and generally only highlighting gun violence when mass shootings occur. The filmmaker says: "Gun violence must stop now, and it is up to filmmakers such as us to shine a bright and enduring light on the violence. People are dying!"
