Trigger: The Ripple Effect of Gun Violence
In the United States more than 30,000 people are killed
every year by gun violence; more are wounded. The
disaster caused by gun violence is seen in almost every community. We may hear briefly about the victims and survivors of these shootings, but what happens after the media attention moves on and the wider public becomes numb to "just another shooting"? Drawing upon conversations with lawmakers, emergency room chaplains and surgeons, survivors and victims' families, police officers, community leaders and others, TRIGGER shares the story of how gun violence impacts individuals and communities and examines the 'ripple effect" that one shooting has on a survivor, a family, a community and a society. TRIGGER also addresses the critical issue of gun violence prevention by moving the conversation
away from the polarizing extremes that have long dominated the debate and lifting up the voice and experiences of those who seek common ground and a new way forward. (2013, USA, 54 min.) InSight Campaign to End Gun Violence is a Long Island coalition of conscientious people whose goal is to promote communities where children feel happy, peaceful and safe in our public spaces.
