I didn't know about @clemencythefilm (2019) until watching it on @BBCTwo just now. It's a stunning film, hard to bear but gripping and deeply persuasive about the damage that judicial execution does to everyone involved, and by extension to the societies that allow it.
3/ Another time I go to his apartment to rehearse. I’m analysing the hell out of the scenes. He tells me “stop thinking about it, try dreaming about it”. Took me years to even understand. He brought heart to the art.

Just Mercy is a wonderful movie, and I am delighted it is a regular on the cable circuit. But @clemencythefilm is the most wrenching, important film on the death penalty ever done. @AlfreWoodard gives the performance of the year. Why do we not see it?
