BT-14. Under The Gun

USA, 110, Feature Documentary

While making this film, Stephanie Soechtig and Katie Couric?the team behind the 2014 Sundance Film Festival hit Fed Up?were surprised to learn that the NRA doesn?t even represent the majority of its own membership. Seventy-four percent of NRA members supported the bill tightening background checks that failed in the Senate after the horrendous Sandy Hook massacre. What’s going on? Soechtig and Couric interview both sides of the gun battle, including a tense encounter with blustery members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. Searing and powerful with never-before-seen footage of the shooting in Aurora, Colorado, Under the Gun gives a human face to a crisis that is costing us in blood and scarring the conscience of a nation.
