Mass shootings continue to be a shameful stain on contemporary American history. They strike at such a frequent rate that the way they occupy news cycles before losing the public’s short-spanned attention has become appallingly routine. With his somber documentary “Emanuel,” released by Fathom Events in theaters for two nights only (June 17 and 19), director Brian Ivie (“The Drop Box”) aspires to focus on something rare and enduring that unfolded in the aftermath of one such unspeakable tragedy. It was a collective act of defiance that aimed to heal a wounded community.
That community includes a congregation in Charleston’s historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, who lost nine — all black lives that vastly mattered — to a gun massacre in their holy house of worship exactly four years ago. Executive produced by Viola Davis and Stephen Curry among others, “Emanuel” turns the nation’s eye on the victims’ loved ones,...

[Brightcove "5055725608001"] Hillary Clinton has made gun violence a central issue in her presidential campaign - and on Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention, four whose wounds and heartbreak are still raw took the stage at the Democratic National Convention to plead for stricter gun laws - and for Clinton's election. First was Christine Leinonen, the mother of Christopher "Drew" Leinonen, who was among the 49 victims of the recent massacre at an Orlando nightclub. As she spoke, her voice was wrenched with emotion and interrupted by steadying deep breaths. Holding her up on either side were Brandon Wolf and Jose Arraigada,...

While Viola Davis has gotten used to picking up trophies the past few years, she was on the other side Monday night at the Glamour's Women of the Year Awards.
The actress took to the stage to recognize five women who were affected by the shooting in a Charleston church in June that left African-Americans dead.
"I hope that there's continuous, honest, unbridled dialogue," Davis – who recently made headlines for her impassioned speech after becoming the first woman of color to win an Emmy for leading actress – told People at the New York event.
