By focusing on the specific (and frequently heartbreaking)
stories of the aforementioned parents, former Congresswoman and gun - violence survivor Gabrielle Giffords, and Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts — who was motivated to action by Newtown and unwittingly sparked a grassroots movement on Facebook — the film lays out the
gaping holes in the system where regulations are needed, and offers hopeful examples of activism in the face of what often feels like an insurmountable
problem.
