Directed by Nick Doob and Shari Cookson, “Requiem for the Dead” is a documentary crafted entirely from existing materials such as social media content, emergency calls, news reports, and police records. The film narrates the tragic tales of individuals who have lost their lives to gun violence, whether through accidents, random acts, domestic conflicts, or self-inflicted harm. These narratives represent just a small portion of the 32,000 annual gun-related deaths in the United States, averaging 88 fatalities each day.
