“Silent Screams”: A Short Film About Kids Killed In Chicago, a Heartbreaking Video Of Pain and Loss To Gun Violence

On Dec. 17th, at the State of Illinois Building, noted gun violence prevention activist Father Michael Pfleger, organized a large rally to call for stronger gun laws, and to remember the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) students who have been killed by guns. Also in attendance was Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis and Minister Louis Farrakhan who spoke about the urgent need to protect the life of every child.

CLTV ran a good news story about the rally and repeated calls to state lawmakers to pass common sense gun laws.

But at the rally, this heartbreaking six minute video was played about the CPS students killed by guns called, “Silent Screams.”
