DAY 17: One Bullet, Many Wounds
Trigger: The Ripple Effect of Gun Violence,” a documentary produced by the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.), frames gun violence as a “disaster” and “public health” issue. It examines how

insights that arise. In the documentary, all those scarred by gun violence arrived at the question
“Why did this happen to us?” After looking at these in-depth experiences of gun violence,
Trigger turns its attention to the bigger question: “What can we do to prevent gun violence?”
