[melliott3 at aol.com]

Friends,

Several Death Penalty documentary film screenings coming soon.? Last week I watched the documentary, "At the Death House Door" at the Sarasota FIlm Festival.? An absolutely remarkable film.? The audience was deeply moved by the dramatic, true stories.??After the screening FADP and?filmaker Peter Gilbert hosted a Q&A.??Mary Lynn Canton, a volunteer from Ft. Myers, was there to help?distribute the new Florida Death Penalty Factsheet.

A film screening is an?easy and inexpensive way to?enlighten others about the Death Penalty.? It provides a comfortable way to discuss the facts and encourage action.? If you would like to have a film screening for a group, please let us know.? We have access to a wide variety of excellent, thought-provoking films.
