The brothers have since become #NeverAgain activists. (photo by Yanek Che / Meniscus Magazine)

Father O’Sullivan is from Dunblane, Scotland, where a shooting at an elementary school in 1996 led to stricter gun control laws in Great Britain. Sixteen years later, following a similar mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Father O’Sullivan reached out to Father Weiss after the latter was asked to bless the bodies of the 26 deceased. Snyder directed both “Notes from Dunblane: Lessons from a School Shooting” and the documentary “Newtown.” (photo by Yanek Che / Meniscus Magazine)

“Notes from Dunblane: Lessons from a School Shooting” won Best Documentary Short at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival. According to the jury: “This transcendent film adds a revelatory dimension to a subject that is at the epicenter of public consciousness today. We found the wholly original approach of this film allowed us to feel again about subject matter that had shattered our collective souls and left us numb. An emotional paralysis was lifted as we watched this film that allowed us to engage once again with the brutal reality that is America today.” (photo by Yanek Che / Meniscus Magazine)
