Sundog has gained access to FASTER, one of America\u2019s most controversial summer schools where high school teachers are trained to use guns, deal with potential school shooting scenarios and, if the situation demands it, kill.<\/p>\n<p>Katie Buchanan, creative director for Sundog Pictures, said: \u201cAfter the Parkland School massacre in Florida, Trump\u2019s tweet that teachers should be armed made headlines around the world. His suggestion that teachers should be armed sent shockwaves. In reality, there are actual training centers which focus on teaching high school teachers how to shoot in order to protect pupils in their school. We gained access to one of these to find out what was going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnny Webb, CEO of Sundog Pictures, added: \u201cTelling stories that make a difference is what Sundog is all about. <em>Training Teachers to Kill <\/em>follows a line of high-profile, headline-hitting films looking at big issues, including <em>Breaking The Taboo: The War on Drugs<\/em> and <em>#deathpenaltyfail<\/em>, our innovative exploration into why the American death penalty system is not working. We are keen to continue to shine a light on the stand-out issues of our time and bring them to new audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 4 Factual has commissioned the hour-long documentary Training Teachers to Kill from Sundog Pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":11912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[289,1807],"class_list":["post-11911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","tag-sundog-pictures","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
