Rosie Yanas Stone and Gail McLeod recount the excruciating hours spent waiting for answers about their children—hours filled with confusion, fear and devastating loss. On May 18th, 2018, a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, shattered their lives, leaving them to endure a parent’s worst nightmare. 'Ten Hours' shifts the focus from the tragedy itself to the mothers’ perspectives, walking through their heartbreaking journey of hope, uncertainty and unimaginable grief. Through their voices, the documentary offers a profound and intimate exploration of love, resilience and the human cost of violence. ---- Created and produced by Amaya Austin, Hayden Swanson and Daja Dansby Filmed by Amaya Austin, Hayden Swanson and Ali Shirazi Archival footage collected with the help of Megan Grove and Rosie Yanas Stone
