This film is a powerful look at an incredibly important movement at an incredibly important moment. The interview segments are chock full of dedicated people from all walks of life who are tirelessly-and rightly-keeping our country's gun violence problem in the fore of public consciousness; they offer by example numerous actionable steps every one of us can take to effect real change. The film's riveting footage of these advocates calmly holding open discussions with anti-gun control protesters is nothing short of riveting, and may be seen as a roadmap for engaging in difficult, but necessary, conversations.
In light of the recent disappointing, Democratic-majority VA state senate vote on bump stocks, high-capacity magazines, etc., it's clear we've got a long way to go, and this work is more vital than ever. Parkland Rising is not just a sleekly presented and deeply moving document of this effort, but an inspiring call to action for anyone who still feels a civic duty in these fractured, trying times.
