Thank you for looking beneath the surface with us - until next year!

Visit @Everytown to get involved in the fight against gun violence. And don’t forget to watch All the Empty Rooms, now streaming on @Netflix.

[Double Exposure Investigative Film Festival & Symp @DX_IFF]

A quiet heaviness spread through the theater when someone in the audience asked for anyone who had either lost someone to gun violence or had been a victim of it themselves to raise their hand.

Dozens of hands reached into the air.

Special thanks to Joshua Seftel, Cass Crifasi, Co-Director of the @JHU_CGVS at the JHU Bloomberg School of Public Health, and @mia_tretta, survivor of two school shootings and an inspiring advocate for ending gun violence.

“Hundreds of thousands of people would die in the first year alone. But the Administration did not reconsider; it escalated.” – Dr. @Atul_Gawande, former director of Global Health Services at USAID, @NewYorker staff writer, and executive producer of Rovina’s Choice.

[Double Exposure Investigative Film Festival & Symp @DX_IFF]

Rovina’s Choice, a short documentary directed by Thomas Jennings & Annie Wong, features Rovina Naboi, a Kenyan mother fighting to save her daughter from starvation. The film shows the human toll of U.S. policies whose consequences rarely reach America. #DocumentaryFilm #USAID
