2ND CHANCE


  • The Dreamland Theater 17 S Water St Nantucket, MA (map)

Director: Ramin Bahrani | Producer: Ramin Bahrani, Daniel Turcan, Johnny Galvin, Charles Dorfman, Jacob Grodnik

89 MIN | USA | Documentary Feature

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.
