- Synopsis:
- In 1981, filmmakers Sheldon Renan and Leonard Schrader created a graphic and provocative examination of America's history with - and penchant for - senseless violence, mass shootings and cold-blooded murder. It was condemned as exploitive and obscene, acclaimed as among the most controversial documentaries in the history of cinema, and never distributed, televised or made available for sale in the United States.
