2023 Emmy-nominated series for Outstanding Current Affairs Documentary.
In this four-part immersive documentary, viewers will experience what it was like to be caught up in the maelstrom that engulfed the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas on October 1st 2017. It is a heart-stopping narrative of terror and survival punctuated by unimaginable acts of bravery, as an active shooter turns a night of celebration into the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. Country Superstar Jason Aldean has never spoken in depth about that night – until now, on the 5th anniversary of the incident.
The power of 11 MINUTES is in its immediacy. Many of the first-person stories told by concert goers, Las Vegas Metropolitan PD, Sunrise Hospital trauma staff and FBI Agents are visually documented in real time by bodycam footage and 200 hours of cell phone video. In one instance, viewers accompany heavily armed officers on their step-by-step assault of the shooter’s hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay. 58 lives would be lost and over 800 people injured.
