Join us on YouTube for a virtual TRIGGER screening

More than 6.500 Pennsylvanians have experienced TRIGGER in person since its debut in 2022. Now, we're bringing the full TRIGGER gun violence intervention online.

Through a unique partnership with PHRC, First Person Arts will offer a series of hybrid TRIGGER screenings.

This screening will take place in partnership with PHRC Lancaster County Advisory Council.

Join us online via YouTube at 5pm Wednesday, June 26, 2024.

TRIGGER is both a call to understanding and a call to action about the roles each of us has to play in combatting the gun violence epidemic in Pennsylvania and beyond. Featuring storytellers sharing their lived experiences with gun violence and their shared search for hope with a vengeance.
A father who lost his son, a trauma nurse at a city hospital, a high school principal, community activists, doctors, scholars, shooters, victims, and their families all share their stories revealing layers of hurt that extend beyond the individual, family, and first responders to entire communities in need of healing. And yet they each search for hope with a vengeance. These storytellers are committed to using their horrific experiences to help others. For some, resilience and hope are key elements of survival. TRIGGER is both a call to understanding and a call to action. Each of us has a role to play in combatting this gun violence epidemic.
Directed by: Glenn Holsten. Produced by: FreshFly Films
Presented by the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services, the DBHIDS Division of Planning Innovation, and the DBHIDS Engaging Males of Color Initiative.
