IN THE DEATH OF AMERICABASED ON THE NOVEL BY
Gary Younge CAST David Oyelowo November 23, 2013, when 10 children were shot dead — the youngest was 9 and the oldest was 19. None made the national news, meaning it was just another day in America, where on average seven children and teens are killed by guns daily. Younge picked the date at random, searched for their families, and tells the stories not of how they died but how they lived. What emerges is a sobering, searing portrait of youth and guns in contemporary America. And for Younge, what starts out as an assignment full of challenges becomes a personal mission.
