Heidi is an award-winning director and producer of "Behind the Bullet", a documentary that follows the lives of people who have shot and killed in self-defense. She also authored Beyond the Bullet: Personal Stories of Gun Violence Aftermath and has written for USA Today, Ms. Magazine, The Seattle Times, The Oregonian, and The Huffington Post.
