校园枪击案幸存者谈论致命枪击案一年后的后果

通过伊莎娜森达斯

Directed by Lucca Vieira, 帕克兰: 幸存者的故事, 是一部以帕克兰高中枪击案为中心的短纪录片, 佛罗里达州 2018 年情人节。高中发生致命枪击案一年后, 这部电影分享了五名目击或受枪击影响的斯通曼道格拉斯高中学生的观点. 他们谈论体验本身, as well as the aftermath of the situation and the effect that it had on their community.

The documentary begins with students of the Parkland high school describing how normal the day felt before it spiraled into a tragedy. Their stories take a darker tone as they move onto describing the shooting. The students go on to describe how much support they received from the community at such a difficult time, and how their collective grief brought everyone together. One girl, Giulia, describes the lingering fear from the incident that still revisits her from time to time. The film ends with a shot of the high school with Giulia’s voice saying “you’ll try to move on but it’s always still gonna be there.”

I think the documentary would have benefitted from a more diverse array of perspectives – including the voices of parents and teachers, that could have added a lot more to the retelling of the event. Certain clips that were meant to recreate the event seemed out of place (especially the shot of cafeteria chicken nuggets) and took me out of the viewing experience. Regardless, the students gave meaningful accounts of the incident and the aftermath. The film brought voices and faces to a tragedy that unfortunately occurs much too often.

I would give this film a 4/5
