HBO’s documentary Thoughts & Prayers, directed by Zackary Canepari and Jessica Dimmock, explores the $3 billion shooter preparedness industry in America. The film examines the normalization of safety rituals in schools, where classrooms serve as tactical training grounds and bullet-proof backpacks are commonplace. It raises critical questions about the impact of these preparations in the absence of gun reform and meaningful prevention efforts.
