Synopsis

From directors Nick Doob and Shari Cookson, "Requiem for the Dead" is made entirely from found footage, including social media posts, 9-1-1 calls, news stories and police files. The film tells the stories of those who have been killed by gunfire, whether from accidental violence, random shootings, family disputes or suicide. Hear those stories of those who have died, which is only a fraction of the 32,000 people killed in America each year, 88 per day, from gun violence.

Reviews

donlouis A burning, exciting topic in a completely superficial documentary, based on genuine footage from TV, police archives and social media only. Viewers have no chance to go deep into any of the stories when someone was shot again in the US. All we can see is a bunch of claptrap footage from the once-happy-past (yes, babies are so innocent and cute) and the predictable present: another innocent person was gunned down. And another one. And another one. Perhaps filmmakers are tired to explain over and over again how crazy is weapon regulation in the US - but come on men, if you are tired of the topic, don't shoot a movie about it. This is tabloid: melodramatic but totally empty.
