Forum on Law, Culture & Society Film Series: Newtown

Senseless gun violence was at its most despicable on December 14, 2012 when 20 school children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut lost their lives to the deadliest mass shooting of school children in American History. This documentary has inspired renewed debate on gun control legislation and background-checks in the licensing of firearms. This is a movie that will change you. As IndieWire wrote, the film is “a breathtaking gut punch.” And the issues that this film presents about a traumatized community are as timely as they were then. Join us with filmmaker Maria Cuomo Cole, director/producer Kim A. Snyder, Dr. William Begg III, who was on ER duty during the tragedy, Abbey Clements, a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary, and some of the parents that appear in the film for this important political and moral discussion.

CLE CREDIT for this event is approved in accordance with the requirements of the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board for attorneys to earn 1.5 transitional and non-transitional credits of CLE in the Areas of Professional Practice.
