Summary
On Nov. 23, 2012, Michael Dunn, a middle-aged white man, and Jordan Davis, a black teenager, exchanged angry words at a Jacksonville, Florida, gas station over the volume of the music coming from the younger man's car. Dunn, 45, fired ten bullets at the car full of unarmed teenagers, killing 17-year-old Davis. Dunn fled, but was arrested the next day, when he claimed self-defense. 3 1/2 Minutes, Ten Bullets follows the trial of Dunn as Jordan's parents, Lucy McBath and Ron Davis, navigate the justice system to fight for their child and combat the controversial Stand Your Ground law. The documentary uncovers the truth behind the incident, recounting the night of the murder and revealing how implicit bias can result in tragedy, and fuels a search for justice"--Container.
