Execution
Description
On March 11, 2009, Daniel Lopez was pulled over for driving erratically. The dramatic car chase that ensued killed a police officer and 27-year-old Daniel was given the death penalty. Unusually for a death row prisoner, he is resisting all appeals to block his execution - which is due in five weeks' time. The state-appointed attorneys for Lopez are arguing that their client is using the justice system as a form of suicide. His family is also pleading with him to fight the execution and stay alive for them. With access to Daniel, his lawyers, his parents and the widow of the police officer that Daniel killed, this film follows the lead up to 'execution day.' Will Daniel go to his death, as he insists he wants to do, or will the people who love him be able to save him?
