INSPIRED BY ACTUAL EVENTS

LOCKDOWN

SYNOPSIS

In the week following the Parkland, Florida school massacre, a sharp increase in incidents involving the threat of guns occurred at schools across the US, traumatizing students, teachers, and staff.

​

This under ten-minute film has no guns and no violence, nor does it take political sides. It depicts something far more powerful: how far teachers will go to protect their kids when fearing the worst.

 

A timely topic, told through the unique and seldom explored point of view of a fifth-grade teacher, along with her students. Inspired by actual events.
