Life and Death Row plot

In America, many people are still on death row, waiting for the day of their possible execution. Sometimes there are relatives who continue to believe in their innocence and try to get them released. Sometimes there are also victims who survived their debacle and are subsequently confronted with conflicting feelings. In addition, there are always cases that are still pending, in which a jury must consider guilt or innocence. The series brings to light the stories of several young people facing the death penalty.

Life and Death Row season 4

This season of 'Life and Death Row' (2018) is hung on the pinnacle of bureaucratic absurdity. The expiration date of the executable Midazolam is expired, which means that the state of Arkansas has to carry out executions in haste, which sometimes have been going on for decades. This starting point produces sultry, exciting atmospheric journalism in which the passage of time weighs on the minds of all those involved in the media circus. Whether it's the families of perpetrators and victims - traumatized in their own ways and scarred by how the criminal trials drag on unnecessarily - who look forward with fear or relief to the sentence being carried out. Or Governor Hutchinson having to decide with Christian straightforwardness who gets a pardon and who doesn't, while a criminal defense attorney races from side to side to assist his clients. Or always the same press officer who is ready at every execution at a Bakelite telephone to signal whether a pardon has been granted or the death sentence has been carried out. 'Life and Death Row' (2018) gets under the skin because it does not judge people, but gives an honest and humane face to perpetrators and victims who suffer under this unshakable system.
