My husband and I have been following the progress of "Execution" since we saw it at a festival screening in Los Angeles. We both truly enjoyed the film, which we thought was by far the best of the fest, and can't seem to get many of the scenes out of our heads. The final 30 minutes of the movie are some of the most intense and riveting we have ever seen on film. We look forward to the release of "Execution" in the near future and trust that you will post any information as to how we can see it or buy it. We also hope that Mr. Scotti can get the film in theaters because it is captivating on the big screen. Good luck and please keep in touch. Sincerely, Karen and Dan Bowers - Santa Monica, CA

Reprieve is deeply saddened by the execution of Jack Alderman. Jack, who was the longest serving death row prisoner in the United States, had been on Georgia’s death row for over 33 years. He was executed yesterday evening. Clive Stafford Smith, Reprieve’s Director, said: “I am devastated. Jack was a model prisoner and loved by many. The fact that Jack was killed despite his strong claim of innocence demonstrates with depressing clarity why this barbaric practice must end.”

Jack Alderman, who has been on Georgia’s death row for over 33 years, has received a stay of execution. Today a Judge ordered that Jack’s execution – scheduled for tomorrow – should not be carried out until the State Board of Pardons and Paroles grants a “meaningful” hearing at which Jack’s legal team and witnesses will have an opportunity to appeal for clemency. “How hard, how difficult would it be before the state takes someone’s life, as a matter of grace … for you to have this hearing?” asked the Judge. A time for the hearing has not yet been scheduled.

Dear Steven Jack Alderman is the longest serving prisoner on death row in the USA. Sentenced to death in June1975 for the murder of his wife, Jack has been on death row for over 33 years and is scheduled to die by lethal injection on 16th September. John Brown, a neighbour and former colleague of Jack’s, confessed to killing Jack’s wife Barbara Jean and staging an accident. He later said that he and Jack had killed her together and that Jack had promised to pay him for his role in the killing. No other evidence was presented at trial - just one man’s word. Both men were sentenced to death but Brown later pled guilty in return for a prison sentence and was freed after serving 12 years. Jack, however, has always claimed his innocence. In 1985 he refused the opportunity to have his sentence commuted to life in return for a guilty plea; he said that he cannot confess to a crime that he did not commit. Jack received a stay of execution last October while a decision on the lethal injection was pending in the Supreme Court. Following the court’s decision earlier this year that death by lethal injection does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment, executions have resumed across the country and Jack has been issued with a death warrant. Reprieve’s Director Clive Stafford Smith said “I first met Jack in 1981, 27 years later the state of Georgia still want to execute him. He is an old man now compared to when I first met him, it is just obscene”. Thank you for your support.

i saw this film at the university of cambridge. powerful, is all i can say. some people got upset because the film never says anything negative about the death penalty or executions but that's what i love about this film. it doesn't preach to you. it simply takes you behind bars and puts you face to face with the condemned man and his final days on earth. then you will actually sit front and center at his execution like no other film before. it's truly amazing and makes you question everything about the entire execution process. this is a great film.

Let me just say this... he took a human life and he deserves to die. Did he give his victim a few years to plea her case?? NO!! Did his victim die a humane death?? NO!! Did his victim get a last meal?? NO!! Did she get to say goodbye to her family?? NO!!I think they should kill him the same way his victim died.. walk in his cell in the middle of the night and rip him to shreads.. MENTALLY ILL?? PLEASE. ALL these scumbags use that one. And all the BS appeals he has had is tax money that could have been to take care of homeless and GOOD people.

Dear Steven Dale Leo Bishop is scheduled to die on 23 July – in less than a week. Reprieve volunteers worked on his case and uncovered evidence that he was mentally ill, crucial evidence which his post-conviction lawyers ignored. I have set out some further information about his case below and there is a letter to the Governor of Mississippi at the end of this e-mail. Please write to him urging him to commute Dale’s sentence or, at least, to grant him a Reprieve. Thank you for your support.

THANK YOU very much to all who took action over the weekend and yesterday to ask Virginia Governor Tim Kaine to commute the death sentence of Percy Walton, who was scheduled to be executed tonight (6/10/08) at 9pm for his murders of Jessie Kendrick, Elizabeth Kendrick and Archie Moore. Late yesterday afternoon, Governor Kaine commuted Percy Walton's death sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole, citing Walton's severe mental illness. You can read the Governor's statement here. Please take a moment to thank Governor Kaine for this action. Gov. Tim Kaine P.O.

If the people of the United States will allow the State to carry out executions, it better be informed about what an execution consists of. They better see what they are supporting. The people who support the death penalty have to face the fact that they have blood on their hands and learn to live with that.

I watched this film and...Holy shit! I really find three stories in it: The inmates, the wardens, and the film makers. A lot of questions pop up. Not just on the subject of the death penalty, but those who participate in the actual execution, and then as a documentary filmmakers how close do you get to your subject. That shot with Cabana looking into the hidden camera is classic! This film could appeal not only to death penalty advocates, but film schools, journalistic ethicists, criminal justice and corrections personnel. It was powerful for me. Congratulations on a well-done film. I have seen many films on this subject - The Green Mile, Last Dance, I want to Live, Dead Man Walking, but this was unique. The director weaved several factors in that allow for an animated discussion on so many levels - the detachment of the guards, the compassion of the priest, the conflicting points of view of the two film-makers, the human side of a death row inmate, the underlying psychological reasons why he killed. And the execution scene was perfect, mechanical, not over the top. Shocking in its simplicity really. I can go on all day but the filmmaker did a great job with this film.

Dear Mr. Scaffidi, Thank you very much for showing your film, EXECUTION, at Seattle University. As an educator, I appreciate any opportunity that can help students become interested in criminal justice issues. Your film captured the attention of our students, and it fostered a deep discussion about the use of the death penalty in the United States. I greatly appreciate the fact that your film offered a platform for such a discussion. I deeply appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to bring the film to our campus, to speak with the audience, to bring Billy to speak at the debut of the film, and to answer questions from audience members. Not only did you help the students and audience members understand the deeper layers of the death penalty, but you have sparked the interest of many students who are now questioning the use of the death penalty. Once again, thank you for your time and effort in coordinating your presentation. I look forward to viewing your future film. Sincerely, Dr. Elaine Gunnison, Ph.D.

the fact that this film is not out in theaters across the u.s. clearly confirms that unless you have a major star or major money behind you, the distributors won't touch your film. EXECUTION is one of the most significant films of our times. the film is edgy, but yet educatoinal to a point. the actors may not be "stars" but they do a great job and are very BELIEVEABLE. if the cohen brothers or ben afleck had done EXECUTION the film would be heralded by hollywood as "revoluntionary" or "groundbreaking". hang in there guys,you have a significant and great film. who ever is smart enough to distribute this film will laugh all the way to the bank. the lancer

I saw this film last night at CWU. I was glued to the screen the entire duration. I did not know if what I was watching was real or not. I seriously thought I was watching a real execution. Next thing I know, the man who just died came walking down the aisle right past me to be on the discussion panel. It was amazing. Not knowing what was real or not throughout the movie made it an even better viewing experience. Thank you for coming to CWU.

I saw this film in Georgia and it's a good film. I don't give a damn if it's real or not. I'm not sure but it doesn't matter, it's good. That's all that matters. This is a really good movie.

Steve: This is long over due in coming to you. It was such a pleasure to see you in L.A., at Universal City, for the Moondance Film Festival premiere of "Execution". Wow!! I so enjoyed the film, and seeing you again after all these years. Thanks for keeping me informed of your wonderful progress. The two films are doing so well. I'm very proud of you and what you have accomplished.

i can understand why everyone is talking about this movie...because it's good, damn good too. i personally saw the reactions of the audience and they were blown away because the film is powerful. i don't want to overstate the facts but i was frozen in my seat the entire time. even though i knew the story...seeing it on the big screen was something else. this is one of the best films i've seen. and i'm not alone when i say this. this movie is a hit!

OK Don't be fooled...you seem to know it all. Let's just set the record straight. The Execution in the film takes place in 1995 ... do you know where Cabana was in 1995? Do your research. As far as propaganda goes ... have you seen the entire film...if not hold your judgement until then on the reality of the film. Simply put...this film takes you inside America's death chamber and puts the audience on the front row of an execution. The film doesn't make a statement or take a stand for or against the death penalty and let's the audience decide for themselves if this is right or wrong. Finally, the warden doesn't talke joy in executing anyone...he's simply doing his job...and by the way...I love Cabana's accent...it's 100% real.
~Get your facts straight

	Posted 4:34:26 PM 10/24/2007
I would like to update on my previous post. To be more specific, Dr. Cabana is the warden of the Harrison County Jail in Mississippi. He was the superintendent at Mississippi State Penitentiary in 2004. However, as stated, Dr. Cabana is currently the warden of the Harrison County Jail. I noticed in the film that Dr. Cabana, playing the part of the warden, had a fake sounding Southern accent. I was born and raised in the South. I know a real Southern accent when I hear one. Dr. Cabana is supposed to be a "real" Southern warden in this film. BALONEY. Dr. Cabana is originally from the state of MASSACHUSETTS. A true blood Yankee if there ever was one. He is no more a Southerner than Sen. Ted Kennedy. Granted, for being a former superintendent in the state of Mississippi, Dr. Cabana would have acquired some degree of southern lexicon, mannerisms, accent, etc. But when I listen to Dr. Cabana, I can easily tell that he is not originally from the South. The big lie about this film is that it is supposed to be real, and the "warden" is supposed to be this "Southern" law man helping the condemned to "ride the lightning" LOL LOL LOL. You have to be kidding me. NO REAL WARDEN WOULD EVER SAY SUCH A THING AT ANYTIME. It is Dr. Cabana's attempt to portray a stereotypical, white, Southern, racist, lawman holding the black man down. In other words lies, propaganda, and leftist politics. Ask yourself this question. If Dr. Cabana is the warden of a county jail ( which he is in real life ), how is it that he is in charge of executing a prisoner in a state prison's electric chair ? Logically, that cannot be so. A county jail warden would be in no way what-so-ever be involved in a state execution. That's because this film is entirely fiction as I stated from my first post. Don't be so gullible people... and easily mislead by left-wing propaganda and carpetbaggers. Think for yourself !! Oh, and one last thing. Dr. Cabana is well known by his statements in his books and lectures that he is highly against the death penalty. So then, we have an obvious bias from Dr. Cabana from the get-go. That is why he was chosen to play the warden in this movie.

Yes Mr. Cabana is a real warden in a county jail. Albeit, he is acting in his capacity as an actor. Yes, real people in real-life situations are being utilized. But they are all performing as actors. This film is a DRAMA. It is not, nor has it ever been, a documentary. This film is listed as a drama on multiple movie web sites, and NOT as a documentary. Again, this is NOT a documentary of an actual execution as the film makers would have you believe. It is a work of fiction. By using logic and deductive reasoning, it is quite easy to conclude that this is a propaganda film. This is akin to the movie: Blair Witch Project, in so much as the movie was presented as real. It misled the majority of movie goers into believing that what they were seeing was real, when in fact, it was a total work of fiction. Why are people so gullible? Because most people WANT to believe it, or because they are too brain washed by the modern age of mass communication into finding out the truth for themselves. Propaganda is a very powerful tool. Hitler knew this.

In response to "Don't be Fooled": Sometimes when you think you know it all you get hit from another perspective that makes you look at things a whole new way. You seem to be pretty sure of yourself when it comes to the reality or non-reality of this movie. I've done my homework have you? The warden in this movie is Dr. Donald Cabana. Do you know who he is? Well if you don't then maybe you should "Google" his name. If you do that you will see that he's a real warden, in fact maybe the best known prison warden in America. He wrote the book "Death at Midnight" and is featured in the documentary "Fourteen Days in May". Also do you know who William Neal Moore is. If you don't then check him out too. Mr. Moore's story is amazing to say the least and he was on death row in Georgia for over 16 years. I read all about him on the internet and this is no joke. So before you go off half cocked and assume that everything is "fake" think again my friend. Sincerely, DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN - THE WHO

not so sure this is fake as the person ahead of me said. i'm not a computer expert but it's easy to take old pictures and put them in jpg form. and after carefully looking at the pictures they look old to me. if there were "coffee stains" as stated above then that would be something i would certainly question. the mother and boy look very genuine. i've been following this story on the web and look forward to seeing the film so i can judge for myself. but the power of this story is not so much how real the footage is but how accurately it portrays the execution process. lots of people talking about this movie too so that tells me there's something to this. just my humble opinion. jack

I forgot to mention the gorgeous lighting and photogenic qualities of the subjects. Notice the one taken in "1950" of the mother and son who are cheek-to-cheek. The aforementioned photo is definately a professional composition. It is not just an ordinary picture; it is in fact a portrait. There are many artistic elements to be found in these photos. Such as Focal Point, Professional Lighting, Value, etc. Notice the mother's forehead in the cheek-to-cheek composition - it is so clear and the lighting so perfect that you can see clearly the small "bumps" and other normal facial imperfections. Also there are no cuts, scratches, scrapes, abrasions, coffee stains, marks, folding, fraying or AGING in any of the so-called photos. You would expect that over 57 years of aging that some of these marks would be evident in said photos.

	Posted 3:07:15 PM 10/16/2007
This is by far the MOST FAKE so called "footage" of an execution. It is obvious that the people in the film clips are actors. No warden would EVER say, "He's gonna ride the lightning" or words to that effect. This is an attempt to portray a stereotypical white Southern lawman. It is total leftist propaganda. Also, if you look at the photographs ( black and white ), the clarity is outstanding for photos presumed to have been taken in the early 1950's. And even more remarkable is that the photos presented are of course in a computer format ( i.e., JPG, TIFF, or other type of format ). There would be at least some loss of quality or distortion of clarity from the original. To have such clear photographs in that era would have required an expensive camera, or to pay a professional photographer to take them. The mother and son are portrayed to be poor African-Americans - in an era when most black people were very poor. I highly doubt that people in their position would have had the funds for such excellent photography, especially when food and a roof over your head were far more important. Lastly, notice how very modern looking the subjects are in the photos. Obviously this is a sham.

Great film! No doubt the most powerful film I've seen in years maybe ever. To sit on the front row of a man's final hours is something everyone should see. This film shows the human side of a killer. It really pulls at your emotions and makes you think. The execution process is barbaric to say the least. Nothing is more haunting then to know the time, date and place of your death. Unforgettable film...it's changed my life and my views on capital punishment.

I saw this film last week in Rome and loved it. It's a wild ride that put the audience in the witness box at an actual execution. I was scared to death but also intrigued to the point that I could not look away. It was the most amazing film I've ever seen and by far the best of the fest. Thank you Rome for having the guts to screen the unforgettable film.

When will this film be released in Europe? All the clips and photographs on here look authentic. This is the kind of story that will do very well over here. We are interested in the United States execution process. Very interesting how they keep people in prison for years then one day they just kill them. In my opinion if they are going to execute someone who is guilty then they should just do it quickly and just get it over with. Why keep them in prison for years? It make no sense. Please let me know where I can see this film since I will not be able to come to the U.S. for the screenings. Cheers.

Saw this film at Tulane and damn it's good. Didn't know if I would like it, especially worried about my girlfriend. But the story takes hold of you from the beginning. The walk to the chair is unforgettable. It's not the Green Mile and thank God for that. This is the real deal I assure you. No bullshit, it's good unless you are afraid to watch a killer "ride the lightning" as the warden says. Honestly, nobody moved during the film's credits and actually sat still for a good time after the credits rolled. I've never seen that with any other movie.

I've seen this film and it's good. Now I don't want to over sell this thing but you have to see it to appreciate it. I was in the theater at Tulane and I don't think one person even got up and there were a hell of a lot of people in there. Maybe a thousand but it's hard to tell because the place was so big. What I love about the movie is that it takes you to the edge of the whole execution process and let's you see for yourself what really takes place on death row. I've seen the Green Mile, Monster's Ball, Dead Man Walking and the rest but this film is different. It's so much better than all the others because it's real. My recommendation is DON'T MISS THIS FILM. People are still talking about it and it's not what you think. So until you see it you can comment all you want but you really have no idea. ***** (5 Stars)

We are so looking forward to seeing this movie and we also hope to meet Mr. Moore and the film's director Mr. Scaffidi.

I find the most interesting angle about this film is the role played by william neal moore, the "condemned man" in the script, reliving his all-too-real experience on georgia's death row until the state parole board commuted his sentence to life in 1990...spared after relatives of his victim pleaded for clemency, moore today is a free man who works as a preacher in rome, ga and is a compelling and inspirational speaker against the death penalty... so what do i make of all this??? i don't know and won't until i see the film...if i see the film...i find myself as conflicted over the film's presence as scaffidi (the film's director) is over the death penalty... Scaffidi said he has conflicted feelings about the death penalty. "I flip-flop," he said. so what do you think??? have you heard about the film??? will you see it??? grab a cup of coffee and let's talk...

this is no blair witch. great story, great characters, and compelling drama. the entire theater was sitting on the edge of their seats counting down the days leading up to the ending we all knew was coming. no cheezy ending or some crappy twist either. this story is solid from beginning to end. starts off slow and quickly builds like a runaway train. i was very surprised at the complexity of the story lines too. lots of subtext and various stories to follow but without a doubt one major theme. the relationship between the warden and the comdemned man is what carries the film but the story of the filmmakers relates to the audience because everyone of us could be them. i'm a bit pissed because i was shocked by the execution process and how methodical it is and i am now flip floping over the whole darn issue of pro vs. con. this story makes one think...really think about what is right and what is wrong with the american criminal justice system. i loved reading all the great comments and i was compelled to write my own. ok i'm beginning to ramble....GREAT MOVIE! who says you need overrated tommy cruise. the realism of this movie is what makes it so damn good. ~gg

We've heard about this film for sometime now. I understand there is a bit of controversy whether the film is real or not. To be honest with you, We don't believe it's real but it really doesn't matter because this story is really interesting. We've done our research and William Neal Moore and Donald Cabana are absolutely real. You can find information about them all over the internet. After looking carefully at the clips and the movie trailer we think it's just a good movie and not an exploitation film. But the fact is that controversy sells so the best part about all of this is that it is pure speculation on our part because the film could be real. We look forward to seeing this film and if anyone has any information about it please post the information on this website. Phillipe, Hans, Sandra and Marie
