About the Documentary

Jan. 8, 2012 marked the anniversary of the tragic shooting of 19 people at a Congress on Your Corner event in Tucson.

Arizona Public Media presents a one-hour documentary, Together We Heal, that explores healing in the aftermath, both individually and as a community, over the past year. For many, grieving and healing have become on-going and consequential parts of their lives.

The program features in-depth interviews with victims and their families, members of Congresswoman Giffords’ staff and the doctors and nurses who treated them.

Watch it in the video window at left.

Learn more about the tragedy of Jan. 8, its impact on our community and our community response here.
