American Gun (2005)
Überall in Amerika ist sie zu spüren, die verhängnisvolle Macht der Waffen. Ob in Ellisburgh, Oregon, wo ein Schüler vor drei Jahren an der Rigdeline High sieben Mitschüler erschoss. Seine Mutter und sein jüngerer Bruder leiden bis heute unter der schrecklichen Tat und werden gemobbt. Oder in Chicago, Illinois, wo ein engagierter Direktor einen nahezu aussichtslosen Kampf gegen die Gewalt an seiner Schule führt und darüber seine eigene Familie vernachlässigt. Oder in Charlottesville, Virginia, wo sich der Besitzer eines alteingesessenen Waffengeschäfts um seine Enkelin sorgt, die anfangs nur widerwillig bei ihm jobbt. American Gun bündelt ihre Geschichten, die eins gemeinsam haben: die Bedrohung durch zunehmende Bewaffnung und steigende Gewaltbereitschaft.
