CNN Films premieres The Price of Freedom on Sunday, Sept 19, 2021, at 21:00 (90 minutes), immediately followed by a roundtable discussion of the issues examined in the film for a special edition of Cuomo Prime Time, anchored by CNN'sChris Cuomo. The Price of Freedom explores gun violence in America and the history of the National Rifle Association (NRA). It documents how the National Rifle Association (NRA), originally a nonpartisan sporting enthusiasts' organization, evolved into a politically influential force that has shaped American policy and culture for more than five decades.  The film traces how the organization has responded to major inflection points in American history, recasting crime waves, political assassinations, mass casualty shootings, and landmark legislative moments as opportunities to expand greater access to guns.
