How does the arms trade impact real people? Christine Cynn’s (co-director of the Academy Award-nominated, The Act of Killing) new documentary SHOOTING OURSELVES examines the weapons industry through the personal stories of victims, soldiers, manufacturers and activists from around the world, as they participate in an immersive production by the award-winning Rimini Protokoll theater company. In Cynn’s dynamically constructed & emotionally powerful film, the subjects turn the cameras on each other and themselves, intimately engaging important questions about war, politics and the many unique human experiences that are deeply affected by a world in conflict.
