Synopsis
Executions: The Rise and Fall of Capital Punishment
From ancient practices such as death by a thousand cuts and hanging, drawing and quartering to the modern scientific era of lethal injection, we ask the question: do the most horrific crimes deserve the most horrific of punishments?
Flee
Recounted mostly through animation to protect his identity, Amin looks back over his past as a child refugee from Afghanistan as he grapples with a secret he’s kept hidden for 20 years.
