    Werner Herzogg wishes he could have made a documentary this good
    If you have never thought about the death penalty, this film will open your eyes to a very harsh reality we live in. It is an absolute must see. I have not seen a more moving film on the death penalty and I doubt I ever will. The first hand accounts of the people involved in the process is a fantastic way to understand the system that is in place and it's very real potential flaws. It's been years since I've seen it and I still think about it and remember some pets vividly. It will really stick with. I am crossing my fingers it will come to Netflix .
