On the afternoon of April 6, 1968, a huge double explosion rocked the downtown of Richmond, Indiana, killing forty-one people, and injuring scores more. The explosion and its aftermath changed the city and the lives of many of its residents forever. The documentary film 1:47 tells the story of how this devastating explosion came to happen and how the city's ordinary - and extraordinary - residents responded to the disaster. Making use of black and white photographs, color slides, archival news film footage, and interviews from eyewitnesses, survivors, and those who worked to rebuild the city, 1:47 will reveal the causes of the explosion, the effects it had on the city and people of Richmond, and untangle the web of responsibility and blame that followed.
