Gun Shot Wound takes a hard look at routine gun violence in America through the eyes of its trauma surgeons. The film examines the crisis through a public health lens and highlights hospital-based violence intervention programs designed to combat the epidemic. Every da in the United States, an average of 318 people are shot - about 116,000 victims each year. Most aren't involved in mass shootings, instead they're caught in the web of routine, almost invisible, gun violence. Gun Shot Wound show what really happens when someone gets shot and highlights how physicians and hospitals are not just treating patients, but going above and beyond to prevent gun violence.
