Paramount+ set to premiere new 4-part series called 11 minutes about the shooting that took place during a concert on September 27 of last year.
Like Any Other Concert…
When a musician takes centre-stage to perform in front of fans they get to witness the ebb and flow of an adoring crowd. That is a feeling reserved for only a select set of musicians. As any live music concert-goer knows, a special electricity fills the air and for a moment everyone feels as one, as all fans sing the same songs and feel the same emotions. This is the power of music, as it spreads pure joy. It was no different for the folks who attended the 2017 Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas.
Until the shooting started…
CBS/Paramount+ On Stage
Those eleven fateful minutes of gunfire resulted in 58 deaths and more than 800 injured. Subsequently, another shared phenomenon unfolded. One of courage, sacrifice, strength, and bravery; the acts of remarkable heroism visited upon the injured. Strangers helping strangers, amidst unimaginable terror.
