Listed on the sheet are individuals killed by gun violence with a brief explanation of their deaths. This poster, used as a mise-en-scene, implies the death of the child in the film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60898522010a433a510e81d8/1619634060278-H0ZUXDZXIY5W0GU8UNIR/Dots+%282008%29 Film - Dots (2008) 16 mm color film, with sound, 3 min.
