A film by James Rogan The Financial Times: Critic’s Choice; The Guardian: Subtly terrifying. Highly Recommended: Library Journal Recommended: Video Librarian No issue currently divides Americans more than their constitutional right to bear arms versus the merits of gun control. This new, topical documentary captures the roles that guns play in many people’s lives by placing cameras inside a small, family-run gun shop in Michigan. Avoiding simple stereotypes and well-worn clichés, as well as understanding the everyday challenges of running a business in a controversial industry, the film explores and reflects on the nature of the debate around gun ownership and gun controls through the prism of the store. Bold, entertaining, insightful, The Gun Shop is a thought-provoking film that examines the emotive and divisive issue of gun ownership through those most closely associated and affected by it, including law enforcement.
