In 1969, a bankrupt pizzeria owner, Richard Davis, invented the modern-day bulletproof vest. To prove that it worked, he shot himself point blank 192 times. Davis then launched Second Chance, which became one of the largest body armor companies in the world. But the death of a police officer wearing a Second Chance vest catalyzes Davis’ fall, and reveals a man full of contradictions, one who saved thousands of lives while endangering exponentially more. Oscar-nominated Ramin Bahrani’s feature length documentary debut continues his fascination with the perilous pursuit of the American Dream as seen through a uniquely individual lens.
