KCRW PRESS PLAY – May 13, 2021 – “‘Us Kids’ documentary chronicles Parkland survivors-turned-gun control activists” by Brian Hardzinkski
WBAI LEONARD LOPATE AT LARGE – May 14, 2021 – “Upcoming programming: KIM A. SNYDER AND SAM FUENTES ON THEIR NEW DOC US KIDS”
THE WASHINGTON POST – May 13, 2021 – “New movies to stream this week: ‘Us Kids,’ ‘Los Hermanos/The Brothers’ and more” by Michael O’Sullivan
“What makes this film stand out is the fact that it succeeds in exploring the nuances of the discussion. It’s not black-and-white by any means, and Snyder is among the first filmmakers to truly acknowledge that. Us Kids is arguably the most empathetic documentary on Parkland yet. Featuring lesser-known yet still compelling perspectives, Kim Snyder does an excellent job of perpetuating the conversation about gun violence.”
-Disappointment Media
“Snyder’s film rekindles those feelings, and takes us front-and-center with these kids as they wade into the dangerous waters of the gun debate, one of the most polarizing political discussions of our time. A documentary like this is chronicling a movement, and its major players, if you will. This isn’t a polemic about the larger gun culture like Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine”, but a film where we see young people grow into their identity through a particular issue, one that will define them in these early years
