Showtime Documentary Films has acquired North American rights to the Sundance Film Festival documentary 2nd Chance, from the director and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Ramin Bahrani. Bahrani’s feature-length documentary debut is an exploration of the life and legacy of Richard Davis, the charming and brash inventor of the modern-day bulletproof vest who shot himself 192 times to prove his product worked. The film juxtaposes Davis’ actions with those of his righteous right-hand man, Aaron Westrick. Unwilling to passively present questionable truths, Bahrani instead lays bare the complexities of one man’s supposed virtue while speaking to the nature of power and impunity in America.
