“Us Kids,” a documentary set in the aftermath of the tragic 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, has been acquired by New York-based global documentary film sales agent Cargo Film & Releasing.
On Feb. 14, 2018, a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle opened fire at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and injuring 17 more. After the events of that day, the students went from experiencing a mass tragedy to launching a global youth movement against gun violence that included more than 800 groups across the U.S. and around the world, including in London, Madrid, Rome and Tokyo.
Director Kim Snyder documents the story of a whole new generation of youth leaders who chose to overcome their trauma and try to make the world a safer place. The film includes many of the central figures in the movement, including Emma Gonzalez and David Hogg. It premiered at Sundance 2020.
