Students who survived last month’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, have been approached by Hollywood producers for a potential documentary, TMZ reported Monday.
Sources told the gossip news website that “at least a couple student survivors” have been getting calls to participate in a documentary-like project that would depict the Feb. 14 tragedy and its aftermath.
“We’re told these students are fielding requests from a number of producers and executives for potential deals on a full-blown movie documentary, a TV documentary and a TV docuseries.” TMZ reported. “They’re sorting through these talks with some high-powered publicists.”
Student activists at Marjory Stoneman Douglas who survived the shooting that took the lives of 17 students and faculty members broke onto the national stage last month after protesting for stricter gun control laws.
TMZ’s report said that at least two of the outspoken student survivors are now in talks with publishers for book deals.
Sources said that profits generated from such projects would go toward gun control advocacy efforts and the March For Our Lives later this month in D.C.
