After reading “Gun Love” by Jennifer Clement and a wide variety of articles, scholarly journals, Supreme Court cases, and other research material, students were assigned the task of creating a short documentary film that answered their own question(s) about the safety of firearms in whatever context and perspective they decided upon. Students were required to conduct an interview, include technical layers of video editing, incorporate their research, and their voice, whether through audio or other means. As a culmination of the unit, we chose 10 of the best documentaries and had a juried film festival.
