Contents/Summary
- Summary
- At nightfall, on the outskirts of Salt Lake City, surrounded by his family, a grandmother will attend the execution of her husband's murderer. In Oklahoma, a former death row inmate exonerated after 22 years in prison tells his amazing story. In Texas, a woman struggles against the criminal justice system for her son to survive, while he awaits execution for 14 years. In Huntsville, a small provincial town in eastern Texas, the Department of Correction performs the executions by lethal injection as an almost weekly ritual. This inquisitive documentary looks at the various aspects of the death penalty from victims to perpetrators. Highlighting the numerous absurdities of the system Honk! ignores the crimes committed for a moment, in order to ask one single question: is lethal injection a humane death?
