<h3>A musical journey through America with Ketch Secor, public radio’s David Greene, and Old Crow Medicine Show, that humanizes all sides of America’s gun debate through the power of music, conversation, and finding common ground, directed by Doug Pray.</h3>Louder Than Guns brings together the frustrations and hopes of citizens who are asked to listen to one another and try to find common ground. Led by Ketch and David, these emotional and inspiring discussions, in barbeque joints, barbershops, church pews, gunstores, and concert halls, prove that localized, community-led discourse has the power to move the needle on gun reform in ways that today’s polarized media and politicians rarely achieve. Because most people in this country – gun owners and non-gun owners alike – want safer communities.&nbsp;
Join us immediately following the film for a special Q&amp;A with Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, alongside former host of NPR Morning Edition and current host of the public radio show, “Left, Right &amp; Center” David Greene.
