Smith Glover

Smith Glover’s filmography? Not exactly your run-of-the-mill popcorn flicks. We’re talking straight-up, deep-dive documentary territory here. First off, “Active Shooter: America Under Fire” (2017) – it’s not the kind of show you casually binge while scrolling through your phone. This series rips open the curtain on some of the most harrowing mass shooting events in recent US history. It doesn’t just hit you with headlines; it drags you right into the chaos, the aftermath, the raw, confusing mess left behind. Survivors, cops, regular people who just happened to be in the wrong place. The stories are messy, emotional, and way too real. Then there’s “Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul” (2023). Man, this one’s a wild ride. You think you know about vaping? Ha. Juul basically went from zero to household name overnight, took over high schools, then crashed and burned in a legal bonfire. This docuseries peels back the glossy marketing and the Silicon Valley swagger, poking at the shady business decisions, the tech-bro culture, the regulatory mess, and all the teens who got hooked along the way. It’s like watching a startup fever dream morph into a PR nightmare. And don’t forget “United Shades of America” (2016). This one’s a bit different—less doom-and-gloom, more cultural road trip with comedian W. Kamau Bell. The show jumps into all kinds of American subcultures, awkward conversations, and political minefields, with Bell cracking jokes but also asking uncomfortable questions. Smith Glover’s work isn’t afraid to make you squirm—or think a little harder about the world you’re living in.
