Posted on July 29, 2004
Need some warm up for October, the Media That Matters Traveling Film Festival Host Your Own Screening month?
Join other engaged viewers from around the country as they host a viewing party for Big Mouth Productions' Deadline.
Deadline
NBC broadcast on Dateline
Friday, July 30 at 8pm
"Can capital punishment be justified in a criminal justice system so fraught with error that in Illinois, 13 of the 25 inmates slated for execution were discovered to be innocent?"
That was exactly the question that former Illinois Governor George Ryan faced in the final days of his term in 2003 as he decided whether to let 167 people live or die. And it is the question that America will face on July 30 when Deadline, a riveting new documentary, has its national television premiere in a special two-hour edition of NBC’s Dateline at 8pm (Eastern Standard Time).
It is unprecedented for a film like ours to get such a large, diverse audience and it is important for viewers to tune in to show the network just how hungry the American public is for media that forces us to question and to think.
Creating your own Viewing Party for friends, family and community members can be a powerful way to bring people together to spread the word and promote the discussion of America’s criminal justice system and the death penalty.
