Capital punishment simmers in a boiling pot of controversy. Amidst the political and religious debate surrounding the issue one thing sets tongues wagging more than the others - what do the condemned eat before their execution?

What starts as an almost comedic look at strange final meal orders quietly switches to a showcase of some of the terrors behind the treatment of death row inmates. Narrated by Hugh Ross (THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD), LAST MEAL presents a banquet of death row inmates’ final feasts and through them shines a light on our understanding of the individuals and the institutions dealing in capital punishment.
