Director Kim Snyder’s film Us Kids follows survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., where 17 people were killed in February 2018. In this coming-of-age story, the teens recover from their injuries, process their grief and start one of the largest student-led movements in decades, March for Our Lives. The film’s focus is their cross-country speaking tour that summer, aimed to prevent further school shootings and to mobilize the youth vote. Director Snyder has been invited to join the post-screening discussion. She won a Peabody Award for her 2016 documentary, “ Newtown,” about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
