Compelling but self-undermining documentary.

Top CriticWorth a look by those on both sides of the issues, if only for the perspective it offers, one the public rarely sees.
09/05/02
Sensitively examines general issues of race and justice among the poor, and specifically raises serious questions about the death penalty and asks what good the execution of a mentally challenged woman could possibly do.
09/05/02
Offers an unusual opportunity to observe the inequities in the death penalty, not just the inherent immorality but also the haphazard administration of it and public misperception of how the whole thing works.
09/05/02
Top Critic[Garbus] discards the potential for pathological study, exhuming instead, the skewed melodrama of the circumstantial situation.
09/03/02
As Allen's execution date closes in, the documentary gives an especially poignant portrait of her friendship with the never flagging legal investigator David Presson.
