Representatives from Everytown, Brady, and Hollywood, Health & Society are joined by three writer/producers for a discussion about mindfulness & conscious storytelling around depictions of gun violence and gun safety on TV. They explore the ways in which TV has & has not engaged with our real-life epidemic of gun violence across the U.S. — from conversations about how and when guns are deployed or depicted in scripted series, to gun storage and safety both onscreen and off, to empowering storytellers to play a proactive role in the movement to prevent gun violence.
