36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime

Feature - 94 min

Fighting for the truth in the worst of circumstances

In 2015, it took Craig Hicks 36 seconds to execute three Muslim-American students while eating dinner in their home in Chapel Hill, NC. The film charts the victims’ families’ agonizing overnight pivot from trauma to advocacy as they struggle to prevent their loved ones’ deaths from being dismissed as the result of a random parking dispute. They courageously speak the truth about the hate crime that has destroyed their lives, about the overt and insidious ways racism plays out in our society and about the need to reform a hate crime system that is broken.
