Nineteen Minutes

Synopsis

Every camera in the city is pointed at the courthouse steps. That is where the verdict is, the verdict is the story, and every reporter who matters has been standing in that spot since eight in the morning. Rosa Delgado is four blocks east, in a parking structure, following something small and almost certainly nothing about a building permit. At 2:14 the small nothing becomes the only thing in the country worth filming. For the next nineteen minutes, Rosa Delgado is the only person there.

Who this is about

Rosa Delgado is the only reporter in the city who did not go to the courthouse, because she was chasing something small and probably nothing on the east side.

What goes wrong

At 2:14 the small nothing becomes the only story in the country, and she is the only person standing in it with a camera.

What's at stake

Nineteen minutes before anybody else arrives, and everything that matters happens inside them.

Why it keeps going

Each episode returns to those same nineteen minutes from one more person's angle.

Takeaway
