Described as “an emotionally powerful drama about the dirty business of capital punishment”, this is the tale of the end of an era. The film follows Pierrepoint from the day he gets his license to the day he retired. He’s a study in professionalism and a regular guy when out in public, married to originally unsuspecting Annie. He’s just a regular bloke, but one with a secret identity who’s the best in the world at his profession. That is, until the aftermath of the Nuremberg Trials and Pierrepoint became famous and his public life begins to impinge upon his private one. At a time when frontier justice seems to be making a comeback, this is gentle reminder of the burden of conscience that the death penalty places on society.

This Wednesday, August 29th, is our special screening of Michael Moore’s Sicko, a documentary film examining the American health care system. The film starts at 7:00 at the Galaxy Cinema in Midland, but we are having a reception that starts at 6:00 at the Galaxy as well.

Keep in mind that this film is not covered by your subscriber pass, so if you don’t have your ticket yet, make sure to pick one up.

I will have subscription forms at the theatre for anyone who has not yet bought their pass, you can fill these out right a way or just bring it back with you for the first film on September 12th. If you have already purchased your pass, I will be mailing them out on Friday, so you should get them next week. Anyone who buys their pass after Friday, that is September 1st, will be able to pick theirs up at the theatre on the 12th.

I think that about covers everything so far, so if you have any questions please contact me here at the Museum, otherwise I will see you on Wednesday.
