Jordan Davis documentary ‘3 1/2 minutes’ coming to HBO this fall

Marc Silver’s documentary on Jordan Davis will be coming to HBO this fall.
Entitled “3 1/2 Minutes”, the very timely documentary will chronicle the story of Jordan Davis, the unarmed black 17-year-old, who was shot to death at a Florida gas station by a white fellow customer, Michael David Dunn.
“3 1/2 Minutes” explores the aftermath of Jordan’s tragic death, the effects of racism, and the contradictions of the American criminal justice system.
“I am grieved that these continuing stories are everyday matters swept away,” said Sheila Nevins, president of HBO Documentary Films. “By bringing this powerful film to HBO audiences, we hope to elevate the national conversation around these tragic issues.”
Jordan Davis was shot and killed after him and Dunn exchanged words over the volume of music while Davis and his friends were in the gas station parking lot. Dunn fired 10 bullets at a car full of unarmed teenagers and then fled. He was arrested the next day and claimed he shot in self-defense.
He was convicted on three counts of attempted second-degree murder for firing at three other teenagers who were with Davis, and one count of firing into a vehicle. He was sentenced in October to life without parole.
