RACE TO EXECUTION

Sponsored by KBCS
Co-presented by KCTS, The City of Seattle Office for Civil Rights, The Central District Forum for Arts & Ideas, and the Langston Hughes African American Film Festival .
This compelling investigation of America's death penalty traces the fates of two Death Row inmates, revealing how race discrimination infects the capital punishment system. Neither for nor against the death penalty, RACE TO EXECUTION explores how the media's racially charged portrayal of victims and perpetrators is internalized by potential jurors and carried into the courtroom.
