Storyline

An exploration of the life and legacy of Richard Davis, the brash inventor of the modern-day bulletproof vest. Determined to prove his risky product worked, Davis traveled the country shooting himself at least 192 times, gaining the trust and business of the US Government along the way. No one believed in his product more than Davis, but when safety questions arose, a key partner turned federal whistle blower and Davis went to inexcusable lengths to obscure defects in both the vest and his business.
