A new project out of South London is using a cinematic opera theme to dissuade youth from gun crime.
Urban Concepts are a project founded by the Safer London Foundation to reduce crime and promote collective education and safety. The Don't Trigger opera weaves dramatizations of gun violence interwoven with footage of actual gun violence victims and relatives of gun crime victims.
The Safer London Foundation partners with London's Mothers Against Guns to produce and promote its message, and has also produced an album featuring some of London's biggest hip-hop acts denouncing gun violence.
Kudos to the BBC for reporting on efforts to curb gun violence rather than just reporting statistics on gun violence.
