Surviving Sandy Hook

On the morning of the 14th December 2012, a lone gunman with a semi-automatic rifle shot his mother at home, then entered Sandy Hook Primary school massacring six adults and 20 children before taking his own life. With the gun debate raging across America, both sides set to use this atrocity for political gain, with multiple conspiracy theories being born from the chaos. Whilst the rest of America and the world debated why, the people of Newtown just tried to come to terms with what had happened and the loss of their loved ones. We follow the families of the victims, action groups, town officials and emergency services as they fight for change in gun laws and attempt to heal from that traumatic day.
