good movie and good acting and a very accurate subject so close to american coast . ( st pierre be a french island off the coast of newfoundland ) . this be one of the best anti death penalty film i have see . a mix of the cowardice of civilian authority and the pettiness of outpost official who stick to principal and decision just because they do not want to loose face . kill become a way to wash the humiliation of their crummy existence and low wit . a interesting movie to be show to all the governor of all the republic where death penalty be still in use .
