The Penalty

What is the human cost of the death penalty? The filmmakers follow the stories of a man wrongly convicted who spent 15 years on death row; a lawyer fighting against increasingly inhumane, botched executions; and a mother battling against the state's pursuit of the death penalty for her daughter's murderer. The Penalty is a riveting, forensic examination of the weightiest of issues.
