Since Manuel and Patricia Oliver’s son Joaquin was killed in the Parkland shooting, they’ve spent their lives trying to change this country’s gun laws. To celebrate what should have been his 23rd birthday, they decided to take their advocacy on the road in a school bus dedicated to his memory. I, along with my co-producer, followed Manuel and Patricia in key stops along their tour visiting communities impacted by gun violence.
