The Southern Documentary Fund continues its Fresh Docs series of works in progress on Jan. 26 with the screening of In The Executioner's Shadow at the Full Frame Theater in Durham.
The film by Maggie Stogner and Richard Stack takes viewers into the rarely seen world of death row with Jerry Givens, who conducted 62 executions for the State of Virginia and is haunted by how close he came to executing an innocent man. It also follows survivor Karen Brassard, severely injured in the Boston Marathon bombing, and her deep moral conflict while she attends the trial. It also follows the case of Vicki and Syl Schieber who chose to fight for the life of their daughter's rapist and murderer.
Fresh Docs: In the Executioner's Shadow is presented by SDF in partnership with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. The screening is free. You can RSVP here.
