There will be two local screenings of a new film on the death penalty,
'At the Death House Door': one in Cincinnati and one in Northern
Kentucky.
There have been powerful reviews about the film and we hope you'll be able to make one of the screenings:
TUESDAY, MAY 20TH
AT THE DEATH HOUSE DOOR SCREENING
Thomas More College
333 Thomas More Parkway
Crestview Hills Steigerwald Hall in the Holbrook Student Center
Discussion and refreshments following.
7PM
Event is free. RSVP with Sr. Alice at 513-579-8547.
THURSDAY, MAY 22ND
AT THE DEATH HOUSE DOOR SCREENING
Main Street Theater at the Tangeman Center
University of Cincinnati
Discussion and refreshments following film.
7PM
Event is free RSVP with Julie at 513-579-8547.
At the Death House Door is a personal and intimate look at the death penalty in the state of Texas through the eyes of Pastor Carroll Pickett, who served 15 years as the death house chaplain in Huntsville Texas and presided over 95 executions. After each execution, Rev. Pickett recorded an audiotape account of his thoughts and reactions.
The film also focuses on the story of Carlos DeLuna, an inmate Rev. Pickett counseled and whose execution troubled him more than the others. He firmly believed DeLuna was innocent and the film tracks the investigative efforts of the Chicago Tribune reporters who turned up evidence that strongly supports this position.
At the Death House Door is co-directed and co-produced by Steve James and Peter Gilbert, both award winner in their field.
