1, 2, 3, All Eyes on Me

The sad reality is that this happens. In real life and time this is what happens. Some people will say "this short was bad" or "this shouldn't have been made." These people don't want to see the world for what it truly is. School shootings are growing and no one, not even out government is doing anything to stop it. I'm sorry folks but this short is seeing the harsh world we live in now. This short was very informative and this is what teachers have to do what they can. I loved the short made me cry and also think about my children everytime they go to school. Thank you for the informative short.

This had the potential to be a phenomenal movie. Unfortunately, it was only 15 minutes, long with no real ending. Like a fade to black type of thing. I would have rather it be a little longer to give it an ending. They could have done so much with the storyline. Although tragic it could have given a good lesson. The teacher, although terrified was smart and creative in the attempt to save the children in her class. Just as you start to get into the story looking forward to seeing her succeed it just ends. The story just drops off leaving you to wonder what happened. There was also storylines in the classroom that provided no explanation. It would have gotten a 10 If it was longer and had a better ending.

This short film captured so much in such a short time, a loving teacher adored by her students and she adores them. She reacted excellently under an enormously difficult situation and she stayed by the kids no matter what. Her solution she thought of was genius and risky but overall when this type of thing happens you are fighting for your life! I was very impressed by all the actors. Felt so incredibly real I could not stop crying, just horrible that these things actually happen. Absolutely terrifying.

This short film is one if the most terrifying, jarring, as well as one of the most emotion inducing, that I've ever watched all packed into 15 minutes. The first time my children, who are now grown, came home from school and told me about the active shooter drill they had practiced earlier that day, I had to sit with that thought for quite a while. I cannot imagine how it must feel to lose a child to such a violent act of cowardice.

Future perpetrators of such violence aren't going to instantaneously acquire any novel ideas once they watch this.

This now not so new reality is difficult and heart wrenching. We need to generate conversations about this subject. Not talking about it certainly does not wish it out of existence.

The Violence Project is a research database and research center that has a lot of important information about mass shooters and shootings for anyone interested.

This film is terrible in all the best ways.

I have taught 7th-12th grade students for 21 years. When the lockdown alarm sounded in the film, I started tearing up. I don't get emotional usually, but this is real. We do lockdown drills in my district. I have 12-16 year olds casually ask me if I'd "take a bullet" for them after these drills. I get that they don't "get it," but this is such a deep and charged question.

My students are 💯 "my kids" but I also have my own young (family) kids. Would I take a bullet for any of my student-kids? At this exact moment, I can't say. I hope that I NEVER have to find out. I am beyond sad that this is a thing I even need to think about.
