A Quick, and Occasionally Bloody, Look at the Death Penalty

We were honored to commission this irreverent, but fully factual, animated exploration of the history of the death penalty, for the #DeathPenaltyFail campaign. Our stick figure host, himself awaiting execution, takes us through all the ways the death penalty is not only brutal and cruel, but also deeply unjust and ineffective. We’re pretty confident its the only death penalty film with a ukulele driven exploration of all the horrible ways humans have developed to formally murder each other. While we were worried we may have pushed things to far, when we heard that Helen Prejean, author of the book Dead Man Walking, gave it a thumbs up at a screening, we knew we’d done OK. No review of anything we’ve ever done has meant more.
