Description

In a remote training camp in Butler County, Ohio, we meet school teachers who are learning how to shoot, and if necessary, kill. This feature documentary explores the heated and divisive debate around how best to protect pupils, as schools prepare for gun attacks and school boards in America seriously consider arming their teachers. The film follows a group of teachers who attend FASTER, one of America’s most controversial summer schools where teachers are trained to use guns, deal with potential school shooting scenarios and if the situation demands it, kill.
