Description: Penetrating far beyond Hollywood’s hyper-sexualized femme fatales, A Girl and a Gun explores the modern American woman through intimate portraits that revolve around fundamental issues of preservation, power, feminism and violence. Punctuated with archival footage and expert commentary to provide a rich historical and cultural context, the film presents a complex and empowering perspective on a deadly serious issue. The intimate and graphic portrayals are of women who’ve carved themselves a place in the gun community, but their personal journeys in one way or another reflect the same issues every woman faces today.
