Song of Parkland
Directed byAmy Schatz

Song of Parkland is a short HBO Documentary film featuring the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School drama students and their teacher, Melody Herzfeld.[1] Filmed in the months following the shooting at their school, the half-hour documentary follows the students as they return to school and decide to continue with the musical they were working on at the time of the attack.[2][3]

Directed and produced by Amy Schatz, the film includes performances, interviews, songs written by the students about their experience, and scenes from walk-outs and rallies across the country as other young people, inspired by the Parkland activists, take to the streets to call for an end to gun violence.[4]

The short film was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program.[5] In January 2020, Schatz won the Directors Guild of America Award for Children's Programs for "Song of Parkland".[6]
