2020 Democratic National Convention: “Choose Courage”
Narrated by Regina King

On January 8, 2011, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot in the head while meeting with constituents in her hometown of Tucson, Arizona. The shooter killed six people and wounded 13 others. Despite her critical injuries, Gabby embarked on a courageous rehabilitation journey. In the wake of her shooting, Giffords became an advocate for anti-gun-violence causes. She later founded @giffordscourage with her husband, Mark.

We collaborated with Left Hook Strategy to create this short film introducing Gabby prior to her speech at the 2020 Democratic National Convention. To say that Gabby is one of the most inspirational people we have met would be a massive understatement. While there are no live crowds at this year’s convention, we can attest to the fact that her speech received an unprompted standing ovation from the crew in the studio. 

We were honored that Oscar winner Regina King agreed to lend her talents on the narration. It took the piece to another level. This was a truly heartwarming experience in an otherwise difficult year. 

To Gabby: thank you for your courage and bravery. You’re a true example for all of us to look up to.
