For this fieldwork my group and I met with Lisa Miller, a journalist and reporter from The New York Magazine. Throughout the fieldwork we asked her a few questions about her views on gun control, but the focus of the meeting was for her to show her documentary called “Guns and Empathy” to our class mates. The movie showed about a dozen people who had both been affected by guns and who rely on guns in their lives. These people were forced to talk to each other about their stories and then finally try to step into the other persons shoes and tell their story from each others perspectives. The title of the documentary Guns and Empathy is a perfect way to describe the project because, everything was made designed around that idea, for the victim of a mass shooting and a gun seller to feel what the other person is feeling and why they are feeling that way. This idea was demonstrated best with a two people Carolyn Tuft, who was shot alongside her daughter who died but survived and Todd Underwood, an online gun seller who sold the gun that was used to shoot Trayvon Martin. These two polar opposites embraced this opportunity to learn about each other and through tears of empathy the two of them made a friendship. Seeing these people start out thinking the other is crazy and understand each other by the end it an amazing sight to see and one that will bring anyone to tears. This video made me sorrowful, joyful, made me think and now I understand what these people feel. These things that make up empathy are things that I would like to bring to our teach-in.
