Summary: Witness to an Execution
Review: Witness to an Execution is a very powerful documentary that offers an unusual perspective on the controversial nature of capital punishment. Most people would not contemplate the impact of the death penalty on prison guards who execute the prisoners, reporters who cover the executions or spiritual guides who offer support to the prisoners in their final moments-- however, the moving testimonies provided by these witnesses forces us to re-consider the lasting (and in some cases detrimental) affects of the death penalty not only on the prisoners and their families but on all those involved in an execution.
