On June 14, 2018, Meghan Bigelow and her three boys were enjoying a beautiful Colorado summer day of running errands, attending swim team practice, and going to the dentist. Vaughn Jr. (aka "Bubba") was thirteen years old when he became the victim of a violent crime that day.

Bubba was riding in the car with his mother and two younger brothers when another driver followed their vehicle into the parking lot of their dentist. When Bubba, his mom, and his two brothers exited their car, the other driver aggressively confronted them.

That driver then returned to his car, retrieved his gun, and began to open fire on Bubba and his family. He shot Bubba, his 7yearold brother, Meghan, and another witness to the crime. He left all of them for dead and fled.

In a world plagued by the devastating consequences of road rage and gun violence, "treading still" unveils a heartwrenching narrative that revolves around the life and loss of that vibrant young soul. This compelling documentary delves deep into the tragic incident that took Bubba away from us far too soon, a victim of the unfathomable collision between road rage and gun violence.

Through poignant interviews and a compelling storytelling approach, "treading still" paints an intimate portrait of Bubba's childhood, aspirations, and the immense impact he had on his family, friends, and community. As we follow the emotional journey of healing and transformation that his loved ones embark upon, the documentary lays bare the raw emotions and challenges they face in the aftermath of such a heartrending loss.

We invite you to join us on an emotional and enlightening journey as we honor Bubba's memory by advocating for a safer and more compassionate world.
