In 1996, the small Scottish village of Dunblane was struck by a school shooting. In 2012 a similar thing happened in Sandy Hook, USA. The Scottish priest wrote his American colleague. He recognised many things that were happening in the USA from his own experience. The two started writing, built a friendship and eventually, the 80+ year old Scot travelled to America for the first memorial of the shooting there.
Using original footage, but also deeply personal interviews with both priests, Snyder manages to give an idea of the impact such an event has on people. Not just direct family, but the community as a whole. Even when in Scotland very strict gun laws were implemented after the Dunblane shooting, nothing much happend in the USA, so the same thing happens there again and again.
