Documentary looks at the death of another young black man.

The International Faith and Family Festival will return for the second time during MegaFest’s five-day run at the Omni Dallas Hotel from Aug. 20-22. One of the headlining films is “3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets.” The film chronicles the aftermath of a violent confrontation on Black Friday 2012 at a Florida gas station.

After parking next to another car, a white middle-aged male and a black teenager exchanged angry words over the volume of the music in the young man’s car. Michael Dunn fired 10 bullets at a car full of unarmed teenagers and fled. Three of those bullets hit 17-year-old Jordan Davis, who died at the scene. Arrested the next day, Dunn claimed he shot in self-defense.

“3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets” follows the journey after the confrontation, reconstructing the night of the murder and revealing how hidden racial prejudice can result in tragedy.

All registered MegaFest attendees are permitted entry into IFFFF. Tickets for an IFFFF day pass are $39, or $99 for a guarantee pass.Registration is available online. For a complete list of scheduled events for the film festival, please visit mega-fest.org/filmfestival.
