Requiem For The Dead - American Spring 2014

Every spring in America more than 8,000 people are shot and killed. Directed and produced by the Emmy-winning filmmaking team of Shari Cookson and Nick Doob, Requiem for the Dead: American Spring 2014 tells some of these stories. Made entirely from existing, found media news accounts, police investigations, and social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and blog posting of those involved this moving film shows that gun violence in America has become tragically commonplace, sparing no one in its pervasiveness. Whether by homicide, accident or suicide, a wide cross-section of Americans men and women, very young and old, and people from every racial background end up being the victims or perpetrators of gun violence. Focusing on eight cases from around the country, Requiem for the Dead: American Spring 2014 pays tribute to those who lost their lives to guns, and shines a light on some of the little-known stories of the 32,000 people who die from guns each year in this country.
