USA, 2004, 52 MIN
DIRECTED BY JEFF MARKS AND ADAM ELEND
EAST COAST PREMIERE, 2ND US SHOWING
Florida filmmakers Jeff Marks and Adam Elend follow one of the world’s leading anti-death penalty attorneys, Stephen Bright, in his struggle to save his clients as the hours of their executions approach. In his drive to represent Death Row inmates during their final appeals, Bright has given up any semblance of a personal life, and FIGHTING FOR LIFE IN THE DEATH-BELT captures both the importance of his work and the sacrifices involved. The film’s editing increases its nail-biting tension as Bright literally drives all over the South in his saintly efforts. Featuring music and narration by Ani DiFranco.
