Film Screening: Death by Numbers

About This Event

Death by Numbers follows Sam Fuentes, a school shooting survivor, as she confronts her assailant through poetry. Includes a post-show Q&A. Join Lighthouse Writers Workshop and MCA Denver at the Holiday Theater for a special screening of the Academy Award – nominated short documentary, Death by Numbers, directed by Kim A. Snyder and written by Sam Fuentes. This film follows Sam Fuentes, a writer and school shooting survivor, as she confronts her assailant in a poetic journey to empowerment. A post-show Q&A with Fuentes (appearing virtually) and fellow writer and survivor Krista Hanley will follow. Due to the content of the film, it is recommended for ages 13 and up.  Attendees are also invited to register on the Lighthouse Writers Workshop website for a two-hour, in-person writing workshop, ​“Writing for Reclamation,” before the screening. Inspired by the film, this workshop explores the power of personal narrative and journaling as tools for reclaiming our own stories of loss, trauma, resilience, and strength. The film screening and writing workshop are ticketed separately.
