Together with writing by Chieko Schrader and Leonard Schrader, the narration brings the point home that violence is more and more present in the United States (and around the world).

The Killing of America manages to be harrowing today as its stark warnings have gone unheeded. The killers it showcases have gone on to become pop culture and the editing of them alongside scenes of violence truly cuts to the quick.

Whilst it may not be the sharpest piece of sociological analysis, The Killing Of America has an important point to make about the level of brutality Americans have come to take for granted.
