MPAA’s Dodd: Film studios ready to 'do our part' after shooting

Motion Picture Association of America chief Chris Dodd said the film and television industry wants to "do our part to help America heal" from the shooting in Newtown.

"As chairman of the MPAA and on behalf of the motion picture and television studios we represent, we join all Americans in expressing our sympathy as well as our horror and outrage at this senseless act of violence," Dodd said. His statement comes as lawmakers have called for Congress to take a closer look into whether violent video games, movies and TV shows are contributing to aggressive behavior. "Those of us in the motion picture and television industry want to do our part to help America heal. We stand ready to be part of the national conversation.”
