From producer Marc N. Weiss and two-time Academy Award-winning director Barbara Kopple, whose credits also include “Harlan County, U.S.A.,” “American Dreams” and “Shut Up and Sing,” comes “Gun Fight,” premiering tonight (Wednesday, April 13) on HBO. Blending archival and original footage, “Gun Fight” investigates the complex issues surrounding gun violence in America, and the seemingly intractable debate about what to do about it. To me personally, this is truly Must See TV. Here’s what a few others are saying about it.
- “A remarkable movie” – The Washington Post
- “Engrossing… [Kopple] doesn’t caricature or condescend.” – The New York Times
- “Provocative and hard-hitting” – Thompson on Hollywood
- “The power and organization of the gun lobby is on display, and the passion presented by gun advocates is almost religious.” – The Denver Post
- April 12 CNN interview with Colin Goddard: Goddard: Because we haven’t taken the steps to change laws since the last shooting, a ‘Virginia Tech’ WILL happen again
