THE BULLET
ABOUT THE FILM
THE BACKSTORY
Even at a young age, Christina was no stranger to violence. She attended a public school that housed a daycare and a police sub-station on its campus. By the time she graduated high school, some friends had died; others were in jail.
“Do you know how many people die and never get to tell their story?”
But it was not until Christina moved back to Southern California to attend college that her life forever changed. One night, at a college party, someone pulled out a gun.
The bullet and its aftermath reaffirmed Christina’s path to help people in need. She moved to New York to become a social worker. Along the way, she also found love.
