The Gun Chronicles: A Story of America
It’s a truly American story: 325 million people, more than 265 million guns, 35, 000 deaths a year and one 227-year-old constitutional right.
To create the mural, every person was rendered one by one and then composited together into a large moving tableau.
TIME partnered with the artist JR to develop a project that moves beyond the familiar, everyday experience of this issue. In three U.S. cities profoundly affected by guns—Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.—we invited people to share their views, describe their experiences and search for common ground.
We met hunters and activists, teachers and police officers, parents and children. JR filmed and photographed 245 people to create this moving mural, which is also TIME’s November 5, 2018, cover.
