Dead Women Walking
Ten vignettes, each detailing a woman's inevitable march to Death Row, each one taking place closer to the moment of finality, director Hagar Ben-Asher's powerful and devastating film chronicles the final moments of 10 desperate women, with increasingly gut-wrenching results.
This is NOT a documentary...but the stories presented in this film could be the shared stories of any number of women currently in the prison system - particularly women of colour, women of poverty, and women who have lived most of their lives as victims themselves.
A timely and provocative look at our fractured humanity, DEAD WOMEN WALKING is an unforgettable film, sure to provoke debate and discourse, long after the lights come up.
