"A comeback story like no other." Briarcliff Entertainment has revealed the trailer for Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, a documentary film from the two acclaimed doc filmmakers Julie Cohen & Betsy West (of RBG, My Name Is Pauli Murray, Julia). This premiered at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival a few months ago, and opens in US theaters this July. Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down tells the extraordinary story of former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, her relentless fight to recover following an assassination attempt in 2011, and her new life as one of the most effective activists in the battle against gun violence and in promoting understanding of the language condition aphasia. Featuring extensive verité filming of Gabby and her husband, astronaut-turned-Senator Mark Kelly; interviews with President Barack Obama and many others; plus exclusive access to stunning videos taken in the weeks following her near-death experience, this film is the story of a rising star transformed by an act of violence, and a close-up portrait of the marriage that sustains her. A very important story to tell as we continue to fight for change in America. Have a look.
