I love the blonde woman in the first part of the video who cannot stop staring at Colin Firth. The way most of us would be if we were next to him. And his wife is simply beautiful as ever. For all angry and bitter those YT posters who are criticizing this work, I would suggest they get off their rear ends and do some of the good work they are ranting about. Just because this work doesn't address your specific cause is no need to demean its intent.

makes you think doesn't it? At least somebody in the world has the guts to bring this political justice system to light...either way you look at it...it's gutsy.

@SezzaSaurus I disagree. I think if someone is proven to be guilty of murder with premeditation, they USUALLY deserve death in my eyes. I make exceptions for women who murder their abusive partners and similar situations.

his wife looks like demi moore

What is noble or just in killing someone who is without a weapon and under custody - what an example for society. States who use executions as means of justice (with fair or unfair trials) are no better than murderers....At the moment they discuss abolishment of death penalty in the US because it is cheaper to keep people in prison than have these expensive trials and re-trials etcs - what an argument ..but hopefully it helps

I confess that I do not know about this case. Therefore, I need to do so research before I take a position.

I do agree with the posters who took the position that Colin went a bit far with his opinions about due process etc. I have heard him in interiews that I saw this morning where he gets subtle digs in concerning our politics etc. I like him very much as an actor. Many of his opinions, however, I can do without. I wish him well in The Kings Speech.

I just checked and the movie is available right here on You Tube. I started watching it but I decided to live my life instead.

This movie sounds like a major snooze. If they are so eager to desseminate it why don't they makei it available on the internet?

I saw the movie last night (20 May) in London where Colin Firth and Lyvia Giuggioli spoke passionately and fervently about the film. It is self distributing and they asked us to try and get our local cinemas to show it. You can get in touch with your local Amnesty group - and perhaps invite them for a Q&A?

Danny Faulkner cannot be interviewed for this film because he was assinated by Mumia Abu Jamal. Nothing was wrong with the initial trial. Not one court up to the Supreme Court has found any reason why this murderer should have another trial, or that anything was wrong with his first trial. He shot Danny Faulkner at point blank range. He was sentenced to death. End of story. Its time for him to burn in hell. He is no hero. He is a murderer. All of you fools should learn the TRUE story.

I support amnesty for people who are wrongly convicted, and I am vehemently opposed to the death penalty under any circumstances. Philly in the 80's under Rizzo and later Goode was a wide open free fire zone and as far as a confrontation between a cop and an armed man, black or white, it would have been kill or be killed.
