Active Shooter: America Under Fire

Mass shootings are no longer a surprising occurrence to Americans. In fact, we've essentially let them become a part of what to expect in American culture. We have become so desensitized that these events are barely able to register as significant to us unless they break records in terms of casualties.

This show allows viewers to gain insight from the surving victims, witnesses, and law enforcement involved. It helps provide the essential empathy that we need to have for one another if we are to seriously address and alleviate the amount of senseless violence that we exact on one another.

The production quality is excellent. The content involves interviews along with actual footage (no dramatizations). There is no narration, although significant captions are periodically shown onscreen in between segments.

This is one of the best series I've seen in a while, and will continue to watch weekly. I honestly have not felt so much emotion and even my Marine best friend who's as tough as they come couldn't hold it back and had the tears flowing. I love the way it shows how people came together in such horrible situations and how it brings out the true American spirit when in crisis. We need more shows like this on TV. I believe there is a hero in all of us.

Who knows, maybe this series will make a mass murderer think before acting on racism, or radicalization, or mental illness. I sure hope so. Highly recommended.

I watched the first episode and could not believe hw atrocious some people are. Iam an old guy, and I couold not help but cry for the victims and families that were forced to live this horror.

I applaud the survivors and victims for their courage and ability to speak about this. It is so hard to watch the senselessness and cowwardice of the perpetrators.

I applaud law enforcement for some of their finest hours, by placing themselves in danger to save others! A big thank you to all law enforcement, and civilians that step up and make this world a better place!

My cousin was gunned down and killed in August '18. This show makes you feel exactly the way our family feels as though you're there and mourning the victims. It's the realest I've ever seen a documentary portray what it's like to experience gun violence firsthand.

This is a very personal, in-depth dive into what happens during an Active Shooter situation. It forces you to think about what you would do in a similar situation.

Will there be a 2nd season? Unfortunately, there's enough material. I would love to see a what goes into making a documentary like this.
