In this film, former National Rifle Association (NRA) president, David Keene, gives a graduation speech to 3,044 empty chairs. Although he thinks he’s giving a speech to a real class, he’s actually speaking in front of The Lost Class - the 3,044 high school students who would have graduated this year if they weren’t killed by a gun. As he speaks, he offers advice on these students’ futures while real 911 calls from school shootings play. Once he finishes his speech, he’s only left with silence.

The NRA stands for National Rifle Association. It’s a massive gun advocacy organization that has become one of the most powerful special interest lobby groups in the United States, influencing countless members of Congress with $250 million in annual spending.
