Gun violence is the number one killer of children and teens in the US. After the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in Florida, where a gunman killed 14 children and 3 teachers, Lane Murdock decided to take a stand. At just 15 years old, she led a global movement of National School Walkouts that inspired a generation. Over 100,000 children from over 2,500 schools worldwide simultaneously walked out of class in protest of gun culture, amid a frenzy of international media coverage and criticism. 

Now studying abroad at university in Scotland, she joined the TFTDL crew to discuss her perspectives on US gun culture, broadening your horizons and a stolen childhood. 

Final boarding call: Edinburgh, Scotland
