About the Project

Why has society been unable to stop the rise of mass murders, and what can be done to prevent them?
A journey through darkness to reach the light – SAVE US tells the profound stories of those affected by mass murders, explores the societal failures that allow such tragedies to continue, and asks how we can change the course to a less violent world. SAVE US presents mass shootings not just as isolated tragedies but as reflections of deeper social crises—issues we all have a hand in confronting and potentially solving.
