- Summary:
- This compelling documentary looks at the issues and controversies surrounding the US death penalty. It is unlikely that any US state will declare the death penalty unconstitutional in the near future, but for many it is crucial that the flaws in its application are continuously exposed. This is the aim of the Louisiana Crisis Assistance Center. With exclusive access to its talented, young death row lawyers and their charismatic founder, this documentary follows the daily battles for the lives of their clients against the state, the government and the Southern legal community.
