“Season 3 of Long Shadow achieves the same magic as the prior two. With nuance and care, Graff and the entire Long Shadow team deliver another engrossing, necessary look at the American-only epidemic of gun violence. The finale episode, Generation Lockdown, proved most fascinating to me. Throughout the entire episode, I wished for Graff to write a book about Gen Z and gun violence, exploring pivotal life moments that, in a lot of ways, robbed them of traditions every generation longs to experience. I know in my gut that this generation will help resolve and end the mass shootings committed against school children. As a millennial, I feel far too cynical to hope. When we did not change after Sandy Hook, it became harder to understand what would have to happen to spark a redirection in gun policy. Graff’s writing style would do this subtopic immense justice, and those in older generations, like me, need to understand Gen Z’s conditioned peril.
Highly recommend!”
