The second part of the eight-part series of portraits of people on death row at a high security prison in Texas. In response to his considerate questions asked in voiceover, the inmates give Herzog and his audience insights into the depths of the human soul. For Werner Herzog, who positions himself as an opponent to the death penalty, it’s about looking at “monstrous acts” but not at “monsters”.
