Run Hide Fight: Growing up under the gun

About This Project

Summary

RHF is a 30-minute documentary about how gun violence affects young Americans. Each segment was produced by student reporters and follows the efforts of young people experiencing the impact of gun violence. The documentary is not just about the experience of pain – it invites audiences to find hope in the younger generation taking action. It is not explicitly anti firearm, and deliberately includes youth voices on both sides of gun ownership, advocating for safer gun laws.

Goals & Objectives

Conversations about gun violence are crucial for addressing this uniquely American public health crisis. Run, Hide, Fight provided students a space to share their experience, and the documentary intended as a catalyst for future discussion in classrooms and communities.
