"In 2013, in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, a Quinnipiac University poll revealed that 91% of Americans support comprehensive background checks that could prevent thousands of similar gun violence tragedies nationwide. 91%: A Film about Guns in America allows for those permanently affected by the aftermath of gun violence to have a voice. The survivors of these tragedies tell their heartbreaking stories of loss, pain, and a heroic search for hope in a nation stalled in a senseless gun control debate. Every story details agony. Carolyn Tuft lost her daughter Kirsten Hinckley in the 2007 killing spree at Salt Lake City's Trolley Square Mall. Once physically active, Carolyn can barely take a few steps without exhaustion--doctors could not remove all the metal shot in her body. In Portland, Maine, Wayne and Judi Richardson lost their daughter Darien days after she was shot in her bedroom by an intruder. The gun that was used was purchased at a 'private' gun show--later used to kill a young man a month after Darien's murder. In 1999, a Neo-Nazi shot six-year-old Joshua Stepakoff at the Los Angeles Jewish Community Center. Joshua continues to live on alert while attending college." —Publisher's description
