Participant Media presents their screener for the documentary 3 1/2 Minutes Ten Bullets.

3 1/2 Minutes Ten Bullets

Director: Marc Silver
Premise: From IMDb: “Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving November 2012, four boys in a red SUV pull into a gas station after spending time at the mall buying sneakers and talking to girls. With music blaring, one boy exits the car and enters the store, a quick stop for a soda and a pack of gum. A man and a woman pull up next to the boys in the station, making a stop for a bottle of wine. The woman enters the store and an argument breaks out when the driver of the second car asks the boys to turn the music down. 3 1/2 minutes and ten bullets later, one of the boys is dead. 3 1/2 MINUTES dissects the aftermath of this fatal encounter.”
Oscar Chances: Uncertain: The film is getting excellent reviews and is on the Academy’s initial eligible documentaries list. However, it’s not one of the documentaries that I hear most people talking about these days.
