MAKING A KILLING: GUNS, GREED, AND THE NRA
Showing of the powerful 90 minute film that is turning up the heat on the gun violence industry.The brand new film from Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films (‘Koch Brothers Exposed’, ‘War on Whistleblowers’ and ‘Unmanned:America’s Drone Wars’.)
Did you ever wonder who is profiting from our national epidemic of gun violence? Who is making money from the grief of our mothers, fathers, and families? Making A Killing is the latest documentary from Brave New Films and director Robert Greenwald. The film tells the stories of how guns, and the billions made off of them, affect the lives of everyday Americans. It features personal stories from people across the country who have been affected by gun violence, including survivors and victims' families. The film exposes how the powerful gun companies and the NRA are resisting responsible legislation for the sake of profit - and thereby putting people in mortal danger.The film looks into gun tragedies that include unintentional shootings, domestic violence, suicides, mass shootings and trafficking - and what we can do to put an end to this profit-driven crisis.
