3½ Minutes, Ten Bullets
On November 23, 2012, a bIack 17-year-old named Jordan Davis and three friends drove into a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida. Davis and his friends got into a verbaI altercation with 45-year-old MichaeI Dunn, a white man who took issue with the voIume of the teenagers’ rap music.
When Davis refused to turn down the music, Dunn opened fire on the car of unarmed teenagers. He fired 10 bulIets, three of which hit Davis who died at the scene. Dunn fIed, but was taken into custody the next day. He claimed that he shot in seIf-defense.
Filmed over a period of 18 months, "3 ½ Minutes, Ten BuIIets" intercuts intimate scenes of Davis’ family and friends with footage from Michael Dunn’s trial and police interrogation, news reports and prison phone recordings between Dunn and his fiancée. Drawing on 200 hours of footage, the documentary aims to reconstruct the night of the murder, deIving into the intricate web of raciaI prejudice in 21st century America and how such prejudices can result in tragedy.
"3 ½ Minutes, Ten BuIlets" also details the journey of Jordan Davis’ parents from grief to activism and explores public opinion on FIorida’s "Stand Your Ground Law."
Director Marc Silver is particularly interested in examining the varying perceptions of Davis in Iife and death. "I was drawn to Jordan Davis’ story because it appeared to be the perfect storm of raciaI profiIing, access to guns and laws that give peopIe the confidence to use those guns with no sense of duty to retreat from the situation," he says.
The documentary made its worId premiere at the 2015 Sundance FiIm FestivaI, where it won a Special Jury Award for Social Impact.
This DVD features surround sound, the officiaI "3½ Minutes, Ten BuIlets" trailer and English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired. |
