American Gun
horizontal line

A gripping, downbeat, well-acted 2005 film that intertwines stories about the negative effect of guns in America, including a stressed-out, guilt-ridden Oregon factory worker (Marcia Gay Harden) who is raising her traumatized teenage son (Chris Marquette) while they both deal with the aftermath of her older son who murdered a number of people at his school; a policeman (Tony Goldwyn) in Oregon who deals with memories of the killers and their gunshot victims; a frustrated Chicago principal (Forest Whitaker) who worries about keeping his own family safe while safeguarding his students in a gun-free environment; and a Virginia gun store owner (Donald Sutherland) trying to raise his teenage granddaughter (Linda Cardellini).
