Lug Cinema – Nos actus France et International Lyfe never sucks

French release of In Prison My Whole Life

23d of November will be a very important date for our mother entity. Lug Cinema will release its first film in a full theatrical scheme, nation-wide.

You will read on this blog what we learn from this experience. We based our decision o past experiment, noticeably the tour Lug Cinema was organising each year.

But this is also a very important film in general. the outstanding work by Marc Evans, shaping his film with so many sources of images you can't avoid to ask your self about the responsability of documentary directors in front of so many informations sources nowadays, packed with intelligence and sensibility, focuses on death penalty.

I have been a long time fighter for this basic human rights of not being killed by the country you live in 9or any country, but that is another story). You can agree or disagree, it is your moral choice and this i not the place to discuss these important issues. My point is, the film is so intelligent that it doesn't give its spectators any lecture, but just shows what death penalty, and specifically the case discussed in the film, on the social and political history of a country.

Last thursday, Georgia executed Troy Davis. In Texas, 4 execeutions were scheduled in 8 days (Perry, the governor there, is candidate for presidential election). On 9th November, Hank Skinner might be executed. Etc etc. With the US elections approaching, one can see the execution are not juridical decision anymore, but political ones, and this is a real danger to democracy.
