The World Between Us
Few are guilty, but all are responsible
A morally complex, ensemble-driven examination of collective responsibility in the aftermath of mass violence, where the tagline signals philosophical inquiry over narrative resolution.
A ten-part hour-long series that follows the aftermath of a mass-shooting where all parties involved - the killer, the victims, the victims’ families, the media and the defense teams, whose fates are all intertwined.
