American Totem @ The Pageant Theatre

The current debate is a distraction.
The national debate on gun violence focuses on the object itself, without understanding the emotional connection Americans have with it.

AMERICAN TOTEM seeks to reframe the debate as it is currently asking the wrong questions. In an attempt to reduce gun-related deaths, the film takes a more nuanced approach in the context of recent social, economic and political changes. The film also explores the American narrative, its origins, and the search for community during uncertain times.
