Death Row II

Director Werner Herzog describes this follow-up to his 2012 series On Death Row as “finishing an unfinished business”. While he speaks at length with four death row inmates in candid interviews about their crimes and life behind bars, Herzog opens all four episodes with a disclaimer of sorts making his own position clear: “As a German, coming from a different historical background and being a guest in the United States, I respectfully disagree with the practice of capital punishment.”
