This film is an intimate look at the death
penalty through the experience of Texas
Death House Chaplain , Carroll Pickett, that
promises to expand our understanding and
vocabulary for discussing abolition.
His experience of 95 executions moved him
from being pro-death penalty to
abolitionist. The film also shares
the story of Carlos De Luna and his family
upon learning that he is now considered
innocent years after his execution.
Whether you are undecided about
abolishing this punishment for capital
crimes.or support abolition, please join us
for this highly acclaimed film and enrich
our discussion of this timely topic.

always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.
