‘3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets,’ one devastating documentary

It started, everyone agrees, over loud music. On the day after Thanksgiving in 2012, a black teenager named Jordan Davis and a middle-aged white man named Michael Dunn got into an argument at a Florida gas station over the volume of the music Davis and his friends were playing in their car. Within minutes, Dunn took out his gun and fired 10 rounds into the teens’ SUV, killing Davis. He was 17.

British filmmaker Marc Silver’s documentary “3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets,” a prizewinner at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, is devastating to watch, and should be.
