Everytown for Gun Safety: Enough

An average of 47 children and teens are shot everyday in the US, with gun violence now the second leading cause of death among US children. This powerful music video, produced by Derby and directed by Ezra Hurwitz on behalf of Everytown for Gun Safety conveys the simple message: Enough!

Set to I’m Still Here from Australian singer/songwriter Sia, the video features 130 young dancers from New York’s National Dance Institute in an emotionally-charged call to action to support the movement to end gun violence. It's a simple message but supported by some cracking dancing from the students with additional choreography by Beyoncé's James Alsop. 

The project was conceived by dancer/choreographer Hurwitz and his partner, Robert Fairchild. “For children around the country, gun violence has become an all too real concern,” says Hurwitz. “Dance allows people to work through trauma and emotional complexities in ways beyond cognition and verbal expression—that is true for those who dance and those who simply watch dance."
