FREE Film Screening and Discussion: Tennessee 11
Brief Description: Progress on issues of gun rights and safety seems impossible. Eleven citizens from across the political divide try to accomplish the unthinkable: find common ground. Will they create the blueprint to bring Americans together?
The Tennessee 11 documentary follows a group of ideologically diverse citizens in the wake of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville as they try to find common ground on one of the country’s most divisive issues: gun rights and safety.
The film depicts how eleven strangers, despite their different positions on guns, were able to work together to develop solutions to gun violence, in a state that has the 11th highest firearm death rate in the nation.
New Mexico has the 5th highest firearm death rate in the nation.
