Gunland
A look behind the guns and beyond the headlines
April 18, 2014
Overview
The city that Oprah and President Obama call home has become marred by murder. In response to its staggering homicide rate, locals have coined it "Chiraq" (a hybrid of Chicago and Iraq). In 2012, Chicago averaged 42 homicides per month with nearly 70% of deaths caused by guns. Through revealing interviews with gang members, activists, investigators and families of gun violence victims, "Gunland" looks to restore hope and examine solutions.
