Today we honor and remember Steven B. Smith, whose journey as a gunshot survivor we documented as part of our @freshfly.films "Beyond the Bullet" film series in 2020. Steven passed away recently and we wanted to honor his life and memory by resharing his film and showing some unseen footage. Sending peace, hope, and love to his friends and family.
