Sundance films put guns in the crosshairs [View all]

"The most typical mass shooting that occurs in this country is a man who goes home and kills his family," Soechtig said. "That's the most common, it just doesn't get the same amount of attention."

Soechtig's latest documentary, "Under the Gun," premiered Sunday at the Sundance Film Festival.

The film begins with a chilling statistic that 22 Americans will be shot before the documentary ends, then examines the history, politics and corporate interests surrounding the country's firearms in the same vein as "Fed Up," Soechtig's 2014 film about sugar consumption and the soft drink industry.

"It's become unavoidable," she said of the subject of gun violence. "It feels like every month we're hearing about another one of these mass shootings."
