A new documentary attempts to probe the vastly different attitudes to guns that Americans have in comparison to most of the rest of the world. The documentary In Guns We Trust sees two Australians Josh Janssen and Tommy Jackett travel to America to try to understand the reasons why so many Americans believe in the “right to bear arms,” despite many incidents of mass violence and the other anti-social impacts arising from a culture that allows for the proliferation of lethal weapons.

Stephen Hill asked the documentary’s co-director Josh Janssen what it was that drove him and his colleague to travel to America to explore why America’s attitudes to guns are so vastly different to those of Australia?
