Documentary

PLOT

Investigates the issue of capital punishment by focusing on six death row inmates and the circumstances of the 13 murders they committed independently. The inmates include Earl Isaacs, who murdered six members of the rural Alday family; Henry Jarrette; Roy Wayne Isaacs; and others. The documentary features interviews with the condemned men, the men's relatives, and the relatives of the victims. By presenting these accounts and discussions on the deterrent effect and concept of just punishment with "no questioning, no cross-examination, no real conclusions," the film allows the viewer to assess the human dimensions and complexities of the death penalty debate.
