AT THE DEATH HOUSE DOOR
IN PERSON: Directors Steve James and Peter Gilbert, and star Carroll Pickett
From the team that brought us HOOP DREAMS, this documentary follows the remarkable journey of Carroll Pickett, who served for 15 years as the death house chaplain at the infamous "Walls" prison unit in Huntsville, Texas. During that time he presided over 95 executions, including the very first by lethal injection anywhere in the world. Pickett firmly believes that innocent men were executed, and evidence strongly suggests he was right.
DIR/PROD Steve James and Peter Gilbert. US, 2007, color, 94 min. NOT RATED
