Description
Zackary Canepari & Jessica Dimmock are directors of "Thoughts and Prayers", a new documentary airing on HBO this week examines the $3 billion active shooter preparedness industry and its effect on students and educators. Jessica joined Megan Lynch. 'There's a little bit of predatory and opportunistic behavior', from these companies, but Dimmock says generally they are 'trying to solve a problem that political institutions will not solve for us.' 'Educators really don't want to be put in this position,' says Dimmock of the prep drills and the possibility of having to respond to active shooters.
