Telluride's Christ Church: Death row documentary 9/28/2011
One of the feature documentaries that premiered at the Telluride Film Festival was Werner Herzog's "Into the Abyss." In it, Herzog's cold but curious lens looked at a capital murder case that took place in Texas in 2001. Three people were killed, one man faces 40 years in prison and another was executed. But he was guilty. Juan Melendez was not.
On Wednesday, September 28, noon – 1:30 p.m., Telluride's Christ Presbyterian Church hosts a special event, a screening of "Juan Melendez 6446" followed by a discussion led by Colorado Alternatives to the Death Penalty.
