“We chose to focus on students and families going through very private processes of grief and healing.” – امیلی تاگوچی و جیک Lefferman
به عنوان تولید کننده برای نایت لاین, امیلی تاگوچی و جیک Lefferman, مدیران پس از پارک, در تکالیف در شرایط به آسیب دیدگان شده بود چند بار. بعد از هر, آنها فکر چه روز آینده, هفته ها و ماه را می خواهم برای یک جامعه تحت تأثیر یک عمل بی معنی خشونت نگاه. پس از پارک, آنها برخی از خانواده های بدون دوربین ملاقات به کشف امکانات ساخت یک فیلم. در خانه های جوانان که با آنها صحبت کرده اند, نمادهای "معصومیت کودکی" در همه جا وجود داشت. آنها به دنبال نشانه های عدم تمایل برای ساخت فیلم بودند, اما بعد از اینکه یکی از والدین به آنها گفت که گفتگوها "سم را بیرون می کشند" ، احساس کردند که مهم است که داستان های خانواده ها و جامعه پارک لند را به اشتراک بگذارید.
It is one year after another shooting that was supposed to change everything. How can classrooms use the film پس از پارک as a prompt and a resource to learn from the tragedy? Some of the questions we asked ourselves included: How have the stories of the families affected the perspectives of other school communities? How do students feel about the victims and the survivors today? What have we learned about school shootings? What have we learned about gun control, activism and student voice? What changes did the shooting lead to in other school communities? Are schools safer as a result? What kind of strategies do we need to prevent gun violence and trauma in the future?
جهانی جستجو برای آموزش و پرورش is pleased to welcome Emily Taguchi and Jake Lefferman, Directors of پس از پارک to get the discussion started.
“We hope that “After Parkland” can be screened in high schools, colleges and universities around the country and serve as a launchpad for conversations around gun violence, trauma and activism.” – امیلی تاگوچی و جیک Lefferman
What inspired you to tell the پس از پارک داستان?
In Parkland, almost immediately, we sensed that there was an insistence by the students and families to continue telling their stories and the space to ask some of these difficult questions. We were inspired to make this film because of the people we met in Parkland, their willingness to open their doors and share their experiences, and their desire that the world understand the ripple effects of violence.
What surprised you most in the shooting of the movie that you could not have imagined during your prep?
We were struck by how, in the face of so much personal grief in the immediate days after the shooting, the students and families were committed to sharing their stories. It was an act of bravery and resolve — and a responsibility we did not take lightly.
“Since Parkland, there have been many other mass shootings and with each a family and a community that will have been changed and damaged forever.” – امیلی تاگوچی و جیک Lefferman
So many of the stories in پس از پارک could be their own documentary. What was your process of story selection and why do you think the stories you chose were the important ones to focus on?
In the initial weeks, we spoke to many people impacted by the shooting. به مرور, for various reasons such as where one was in the grieving process, some chose to not move forward. The families in our film were the ones who continued to open their doors and share their stories with us. And while the student activism that grew out of Parkland is part of the film, we chose to focus on students and families going through very private processes of grief and healing.
What do you feel about the #MarchforOurLives movement? What has student voice brought to solving a national crisis with violence and specifically, school violence?
In the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, many community members became engaged in various forms of activism and encouraged a national dialogue around gun violence and solutions. Our film touches several approaches and we hope contributes to a lasting conversation.
“Some wounds never heal and that’s something we cannot as a country forget.” – امیلی تاگوچی و جیک Lefferman
Do you believe your film will have any impact on the political agendas for Gun Control? Can you explain why or why not?
Our film is not intended to be political or to advocate for a political agenda. در عوض, we hope to illustrate the lasting impacts that one act of violence can have on a community and create a launchpad to discuss difficult topics. We hope that our film can help encourage a dialogue around gun violence and trauma and allow people to empathize with families who have experienced the unthinkable. Some of the most meaningful comments we’ve heard from audiences at film festivals around the country came from people with various political beliefs, who told us that, if our film couldn’t spark a conversation, then nothing could. We would be thrilled to see meaningful dialogue as an outcome of our film.
How do you hope teachers and parents will use your film? به عنوان مثال, do you envision it being used with lesson plans as part of the curriculum?
We’re thrilled to be partnering with Kino Lorber in part because of their commitment to a robust education component as part of the film’s distribution. ما امیدواریم که پس از پارک can be screened in high schools, colleges and universities around the country and serve as a launchpad for conversations around gun violence, trauma and activism.
What are your personal takeaways from this experience? What have you learned?
After spending so much time in Parkland with families impacted by violence, we got a glimpse into the deep ripple effects an act of violence can have on a community. Since Parkland, there have been many other mass shootings, and with each, a family and a community that will have been changed and damaged forever. Some wounds never heal and that’s something we cannot as a country forget.
Thank you Emily and Jake.
پس از پارک the documentary about the Parkland tragedy and its aftermath will be screened in theaters nationwide.
