Prince George's County residents will have the opportunity to chime in and learn more about the national gun control debate Monday night, when the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt hosts a Reel and Meal event featuring "Living for 32."
The movie is the account of a young survivor of the 2007 Virginia Tech mass shootings taking a lead on strengthening the nation's gun-control laws.
Colin Goddard recently met with Vice President Joe Biden to discuss solutions for the nation's issue with gun violence and also has been working on the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The film was selected in the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.
Several other guest speakers will be in attendance:
- Elizabeth Ross, mother of Marckel Ross, a Prince George's County student shot and killed last September while walking to Central High School.
