91%: A Film about Guns in America (2016)

In this one hour and 14 minute film, director John Richie tells the stories of victims of gun violence.

The stories they tell tug at the heart. For instance, there is Carolyn Tuft, whose daughter was shot and killed in a mall in Salt Lake City. The two of them had gone to buy Valentine's Day cards when a 17-year-old youth started shooting, leaving the girl and five others dead.

Across the country in Portland, Maine Judi Richardson’s 25-year-old daughter Darien was shot to death by masked intruders who burst into her bedroom while she slept. The same gun, a month earlier according to police, was used to murder a young man.

In his own New Orleans, Richie interviews pleasure club president Ed Buckner and reporter Debra Cotton about the 2012 Mother’s Day shooting in New Orleans. 19 people were wounded in that shooting. Two young men had no record of felonies, so they were able to easily obtain guns.

There are, as usual, lots of statistics provided, but it is the individual stories of loss and heartache that you will remember.
