- In the 18 years since Zed Nelson's seminal photography book Gun Nation was published, 500,000 Americans have been killed by firearms in the USA. Half a million people dead - and many more injured. Nelson returns to the people he met, photographs them, and asks why.
- It's 18 years since Zed Nelson's award-winning seminal photography book 'Gun Nation' was published. Since then, half a million Americans have been killed by firearms in the USA. Traveling through states still reeling from recent school shooting rampages, Nelson tracks down the gun owners who he met and photographed nearly two decades ago, questioning why there is such fierce resistance to gun control laws in the USA. Cutting to the core of America's enduring love affair with the gun, Nelson's two-decade-long rapport with his subjects gives this film unique and intimate access to the minds of American gun owners. In Gun Nation there are no stereotypical images of gang members brandishing guns or extremists in camouflage fatigues. Instead, Nelson focuses on the reality behind America's gun culture: the mainly white, middle-class Americans who manufacture, sell and purchase guns in vast numbers, fueling the nations insatiable appetite for firearms.
