Us Kids (2020)
For grades 9 — 12
Screening and Q&A with Kim A. Snyder, director

Sparked by the plague of gun violence ravaging schools, Us Kids chronicles the March For Our Lives movement over several years by featuring the stories of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivors. Propelled by their experiences, these young leaders work together with other gun violence survivors and teenage activists to address the lack of gun reform in the United States and eventually see their movement expand globally.

Content Warning: This film includes explicit language and an overt focus on trauma and its mental health effects. Suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and survivor's guilt are among the survivors' issues discussed in the film.
