The filmmakers of “The Penalty” will be conducting a Texas tour from October 29 to November 14 in cities around the state. All screenings will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers and experts on the death penalty.  This powerful documentary weaves together three storylines, each of which exposes the flaws and failures of the death penalty in dramatic, often unexpected, ways.  To find out more or see a trailer, go to www.thepenaltyfilm.com.

The tour is cosponsored by the Texas After Violence Project.
