Nineteen years ago, journalist Dave Cullen was among the first to arrive at Columbine High in the wake of a shooting massacre. While writing his acclaimed account of the tragedy, he suffered two bouts of secondary PTSD. In March 2018, Cullen went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School after a similar event to profile the survivors who, using their grief as a catalyst for change, transformed tragedy into a compelling political movement. He tells the story in a new book, Parkland.
