After Parkland

GUNS IN AMERICA 

    Right off of the bat, I felt very emotional and frustrated while watching this film. This film is extremely heartfelt and scary because the first thing that comes to mind is, what if that was me, or my friends? I say that I felt frustrated while watching this film because these are innocent kids and these are peoples friends, family, co-workers, etc. that are dying from this gun violence. Seeing the protest scene and how one of the kids got to go to the white house to speak on the matter was extremely inspiring and hopeful. I say this because the film shows parents and kids projecting their voice and showing that there are people out there who are filled with a variety of emotions and will do whatever it will takes to keep students safe and spread awareness on gun violence. Hearing about the students who had died from the school shooting and hearing from their families, about their childhoods, the relationships they had, just how normal and innocent they were, was eye opening. This projected just how real gun violence is and how everyone needs to participate in fixing this issue to protect one another.
