In to the Abyss (2011)

Documentary | Crime

 

You might think you know crime scenes, death rows, victims and killers just because you watched CSI or a couple of movies. But you will not know anything until you watch this. This is real crimes, victims and murderers in real prisons and real lives, blood and tears of them. This documentary made me think thrice about the world we live in and the laws that we practice. This is so good for many reasons. It’s not bios towards the victims or neither bad people. It just takes you in to a tight place where you will be questioned about your beliefs, your emotions and your conclusions. But till you finish watching it or maybe even after that you will not clearly know what you should believe from here on. A very strong piece of documentary, which just rips your mind off your traditional thinking and smashes your head against it. You will feel the pain and the anger. But you will dare to be that person who kills another man just because he killed another man.

 

4.5/5

 

Synopsis: Conversations with death row inmate Michael Perry and those affected by his crime serve as an examination of why people - and the state - kill.
