Overview

Follows veteran CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp as they embark on a seven-year-long project to document the empty bedrooms of children killed in school shootings. Tired of whitewashing tragedy with obligatory uplift, Hartman steps away from his heartwarming human interest stories to pursue a project his network never approved. As gun violence claims more young lives than any other cause in America, these quiet bedrooms reveal truths more powerful than statistics ever could.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A seven-year meditation on absence and loss, using the physical spaces of children's bedrooms to confront the scale of America's gun violence without false comfort. Hartman and Bopp refuse easy narrative, letting emptiness speak for itself.
