[edit] Summary

Documentary fim depicts the events leading up to the hanging of Ronald Ryan - the last man hanged in Australia. To this day there is still some doubt about Ryan's guilt. The film details the issues that led to the hanging of Ryan, how State Premier Bolte, facing an election, decided to make an issue out of the case and pushed through the hanging. What evolves is a powerful and emotional statement about capital punishment, a universal story about the social and political pressures that can lead a government to take the life of a person.
