Paley Center For Media To Preview Investigation Discovery's IN MEMORIAM

The Paley Center for Media announced today that it will preview In Memoriam, an Investigation Discovery documentary that explores the emotional impact on the survivors of three recent mass shootings. This program is the latest addition to the PaleyLive NY fall season and will take place at the Paley Center's New York location on Tuesday, November 5 at 6:30pm. Following the screening there will be a special discussion and Q&A moderated by former prosecutor, victim's rights advocate, and The View Co-Host, Sunny Hostin.

"In Memoriam is a powerful look at the impact these tragic events have on those left behind," said Maureen J. Reidy, the Paley Center's President & CEO. "We feel privileged to preview this timely documentary and host the insightful and important conversation that is certain to follow."

"In Memoriam is a documentary film which reflects Investigation Discovery's efforts to shine a klieg light on diverse legal issues, like gun violence, a plague affecting our nation today. In that regard, award-winning director Ben Steele, has created a passionate documentary about this divisive subject, where we empower viewers to make their own decision and, perhaps, to demand appropriate and well considered action to help avoid the next such tragedy," says Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel and Destination America.

In the United States, there is an active shooter incident every 12 days. In Memoriam shows the wrenching perspective of wounded survivors, grieving relatives, and heroes of the horrific attacks at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, the Sutherland Springs Baptist Church in Texas, and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Sunny Hostin and discussion participants will explore issues raised by the documentary, concentrating on how we must go beyond the polarized gun control debate to examine the permanent emotional scars mass shootings create. In Memoriam will premiere on Investigation Discovery in February 2020.
