14 Days in Gainesville

14 Days in Gainesville returns to the fall of 1990, when Gainesville, Fla., found itself caught between tremendous anticipation and unimaginable tragedy. Steve Spurrier, the Heisman Trophy winner, had returned to his alma mater as head football coach, promising to breathe new life into a program searching for a new era of success. At the same time, the university community was shaken by the murders of five students over a matter of days. Against that backdrop, the documentary chronicles a community grappling with fear and grief while the start of a new football season approached.14 Days in Gainesville explores how students, players, coaches and residents experienced those extraordinary days — and how a football program preparing for a new beginning became intertwined with a community confronting an unthinkable tragedy and a serial killer on the loose.
