Gun Nation
Directed by Zed Nelson · 2016
Eighteen years after his photo book on American gun culture, Zed Nelson revisits his subjects to ask why the country remains so attached to firearms.
A then-and-now portrait that makes America's gun paradox personal and deeply unsettling.
In the 18 years since Zed Nelson’s seminal photography book Gun Nation was published, 500,000 Americans have been killed by firearms in the US.
