Description

Minnow Films for Channel 4

A jaw-dropping character-led documentary following American families who are passionate about firearms and believe their children are safer armed. Provocative and explosive, this film follows American parents who love guns and want their kids to be the same.

It explores the many reasons why they believe learning to shoot is important. For some, the motivation is self-defence, for others it is a basic constitutional right. There is a long tradition of families going hunting together simply because it's fun. For these gun lovers, firearms are part of everyday life. We see a happy four year-old receiving a gun for her birthday... it's bigger than she is! We also consider the implications of these choices. Is arming their children their American duty or a potentially deadly mistake?
