Parkland: Two Years On, and Much More to Do—Meet the Families and Civic Leaders

FOLCS is looking forward to revisiting this important program, now on its virtual stage.

Two years after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Parkland has become a national metaphor for school shootings and senseless gun violence. Once a quaint South Florida town, it has now been transformed into a community of activists charged with a civic and parental mission to enact real and meaningful change – all because of the events that took place on February 14th, 2018, and the strong desire to prevent other cities from experiencing the same. Their efforts go beyond legislative change for gun law reforms, and include greater school safety measures and enhancements, infrastructure for mental health support programs, and much more.

FOLCS will bring to its virtual stage the father of Gina Montalto, Mr. Tony Montalto; Mayor of Parkland, Christine Hunschofsky; Commissioner of Broward County, Michael Udine; and The Boston Globe’s metro columnist Adrian Walker, in conversation on the Parkland shooting, its aftermath, the community’s response, and the changes that its members continue to work toward.

This event is produced in partnership with the New York Film Academy.
