Reporting from Uvalde film synopsis:
As news broke about a school shooting in Texas in May 2022, reporters immediately descended upon the small town of Uvalde to uncover the devastating violence at Robb Elementary, where 19 children and two teachers were killed. Journalists spent months recounting stories of survival and horror, while witnessing the grief of mourning families and exposing themselves to ongoing and repeated trauma. Reporting from Uvalde chronicles the pivotal role that journalists play reporting from the scenes of mass shootings as first responders and explorers the physical and emotional trauma that journalists are exposed to while reporting from the frontlines.
