The Killing of America
In 1982, filmmakers Sheldon Renan and Academy Award nominee Leonard Schrader (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Mishima, Blue Collar) created a graphic and provocative examination of America’s history with - and penchant for - senseless violence, mass shootings and cold-blooded murder. It was condemned as “exploitive and obscene”, acclaimed as “among the most controversial documentaries in the history of cinema”, and never distributed, televised or made available for sale in the United States. Severin Films now presents this infamous ‘shock doc’ which remains one of the most profoundly disturbing and still chillingly relevant documentary experiences of our time.
