Event Summary

Join us online with Professor Maggie Stogner, Executive Director of the Center for Environmental Filmmaking and professor of Film and Media Arts at SOC, and Professor Richard Stack, full-time professor of Public Communication at SOC.

"In the Executioner's Shadow" is a documentary that casts a penetrating look at the consequences of the death penalty through three powerful stories - the rare perspective of a former state executioner who comes within days of executing an innocent person; a Boston Marathon bombing victim who struggles to decide what justice really means; and the parents of a murder victim who choose to fight for the life of their daughter's killer. As the battle to overturn capital punishment comes to a head in the U.S., this provocative film challenges viewers to question their deepest beliefs about justice.
