Description:

Snap Judgment is beat-driven, intensely personal storytelling. We find the moment where EVERYTHING is on the line, and regular people shape their own destinies.

John Campo, tells us his story of life and death at 10,000 feet in the Sierras.

"Victor" shares his own introspective tale as a 12 year old African American boy genius sent against his will to an East Coast university - and the unlikely story of a white Catholic priest who became his surrogate father.

International businessman Mohammed Al Bhagdadi shocks with his real story of abduction. Homeland Security goes horribly awry as Mohammed is seized in Copenhagen, stripped in Amsterdam, before eventually facing FBI interrogation in the United States of America . . .

Regular people, extraordinary stories - Snap Judgment.
