The Window on Death Row - Director Linda Freund & Executive Producer Mike Farrell

The Window on Death Row tells the story of Joaquín José Martínez, a Spanish citizen, who at the age of 24 was convicted of a double murder in the state of Florida. He spent the next five years behind bars, three of those on death row. With the help of the Spanish government and many of his country men, he was eventually exonerated of all charges against him. The case pitted the U.S. courts against that of the European Union and their ban on the death penalty. Nearly 20 years after his exoneration, Martínez transforms his personal trauma into public advocacy against the death penalty. His Catholic faith and relationship he built with his death row chaplain Dale Recinella have been central to his healing. We are joined on this edition of Cinemafile by director and producer Linda Freund and Executive Producer Mike Farrell.
