Greenlit: Gun Shop, Channel 4
Gun Shop (1 x 60′) – Nothing divides America more than their constitutional right to bear arms versus the merits of gun control. As the right to walk in off the street and buy a gun continues to be fiercely debated in the run-up to the US election, this film captures the role they currently play in so many people’s lives by placing a fixed-rig of cameras inside a small, family-run gun shop in Michigan.
Documenting the many and varied customers who come through the shop’s doors, the film will reveal insights into the relationship that everyday Americans have with their guns that go beyond the gun-toting stereotypes.
The film will introduce some strong personalities, humour and warmth to this critical issue, whilst exploring all sides of the debate. British audiences will instantly recognise the familiar characters in the shop-owners and customers and routines of shopping in a local store – but the products on sale will be shockingly different.
