I HAVE NEVER watched something that had my heart so heavy. I felt like I was in the classroom praying to get out alive. Well done

[CourtneyClemons]

I just finished watching this and I am in tears.
No actual violence is depicted, but it's still an immersive experience since we see and feel everything from the teacher's perspective. I felt sorrow and fear and frustration while watching this.

[ceciliale]

This mini film broke me. The overwhelming emotion of wanting to help them but knowing you are powerless and cannot stop the carnage. I felt as if though it was me in that classroom. Brilliant piece.

[ameliali]

Had me in tears OMG seriously made me feel like I was there 100% recommend if you want to be heartbroken

[Kirby]

bro these comments are sad, this is such an important project and a great oppurtunity to uplift our communities and yall triggered over a non-issue. imagine this director making moves for our people coming here filled with so much excitment and reading yall whack comments not even about his movie. ANYWAYS unlike the loud haters, many more support this film with open arms and am so happy so many eyes get to see your work brother! peace and love

I’m an Actor, I’m a Mom, I’m a Former NYC educator for nearly 10yrs. This hit me on ALL levels. To tell a compelling story In 15min accomplishing all of the goals mentioned in this video is amazing. You can tell good stories without compromising values, morals, integrity or showing violence. Less can be more. This is why I love being apart of this Artist world and telling stories. I pray one day we don’t have to have ANY more school crisis on this matter. Thank you for being courageous to make this film.

This film honestly shook me so bad, it makes me realize what kind of generation we’re living in and how much this really happens. Seeing this from the teachers perspective was honestly so live threatening. Even though it’s a film I couldn’t help but feel the urge to pray for them, and their survival. And anybody who sees this comment, this is a sign that you need to pray every morning before you go to school, work, or any public place, you never know what could happen.

Part of me wishes they post the short films on YouTube instead of putting it behind the paywall of HBO/HBO Max.

[mildlypoltergeist]

I was so excited to watch this and see my friend in this film, it was absolutely amazing and the message behind it made me so happy

[ashly.]

I agree when we used to do these when I was in elementary middle and high school nobody would ever take these drills seriously bc we always thought it would never happen to us but in reality it can. Stay strong to anyone that has lost a loved one or has ever been a part of an actual mass shooting

[mr.stoneyloney]

the fact that she told her students she never was trained for this is what is sad like they shouldn't have to this world dis getting sick now

[catenthusiast]

This film was so powerful
some of these comments are REALLY ignorant.

[Sportslover]

The moment that she sees the kid die that didn’t leave the classroom that broke me because you didn’t see it but it was so heartbreaking

[yaniramena]

I'm in tears, this just happened here in Texas 😭

[jabs]

Ppl most in this comments more offended about LATINX but not getting the bigger picture. Fools. I’m a Latino and I don’t give a crap what others want to call me.

[richiemoshpit]

This film gave me anxiety and made me realize how bad and scary this can actually be. I honestly don’t know why people would have the mind to go to a school and shoot innocent kids and adults. Please stay safe out there!❤️

[kseniyamichael]

I am an adult, and I understand, and as a parent, I am horrified of something like this happening to my kids!

We did 3 scenarios of active shooter situations at the school I work in. As I was running across the playground field (4 months pregnant) with coworkers, all I kept thinking was if it was a real situation, we'd all be dead.

[noobygod]

I can’t believe this happened in real life 😢😢

[Manolo_Ribera]

Latinx is an offense term, stop using it.

[phyllisrocher]

I could not watch the whole thing. It ripped my heart out.
