Co-directed by Steve James and Peter Gilbert (Hoop Dreams), the film also focuses on the story of Carlos De Luna, a convict Pickett counseled for many years leading up to his untimely execution. Pickett is meticulous in describing the over 95 executions he had the displeasure in residing over and his vivid images can be at times sobering.
