Penetrating well beyond the Hollywood image of the armed female, A Girl and A Gun illuminates the rarely seen female gun culture in the US to contemplate the complicated relationship between cultural ideas of womanhood and gun ownership in America. Shown through formal interviews, animated graphic sequences, and intimate scenes with an eclectic cast of women diversely impacted by guns, this hybrid character-issue documentary explores the armed woman as a historical figure, cultural icon, and perhaps most importantly, as an average American woman.

Director: Cathryne Czubek
