About Death Row
When and how a person will die is unknown until it actually happens. Unless that person is on death row, where inmates are told the precise day, hour and minute of their deaths. This series documents the story of crime and the death penalty as filmmaker Werner Herzog interviews American inmates as they await their deaths. In the beginning of the programme, Herzog states that he does not believe any person should be executed and his goal with `Death Row' is to understand what it is like to face the death penalty, not excuse the inmates for their crimes. … MORE
