The Tennessee 11

America is facing historic levels of division — and the debate over gun rights and safety is no exception. This feature-length documentary follows what happens when ordinary citizens from opposing sides come together to do the unexpected: find common ground on an issue that often feels irreconcilable. Their mission: to craft actionable solutions that both sides can support. Meanwhile, in response to the Covenant School shooting — where three students and three adults were tragically killed — Tennessee’s governor calls a special legislative session. What unfolds is political theater marked by gridlock and inaction, a stark contrast to the citizens’ solution session taking place just miles away. Can these citizens accomplish what their political leaders cannot? This film offers a timely case study in democracy-building — highlighting the power of civil dialogue and constructive conflict in tackling America’s toughest problems.
