We asked our students, "Do Guns Make us Safe?" and assigned them 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. They had to interview someone, include technical layers of video editing, incorporate their research, and their voice, whether through audio or other means had to be present in some way. As a culmination of the unit, we chose 10 of the best documentaries and had a juried film festival.
