A 50-minute documentary film intimately reveals a rarely seen view of murderÂ’s aftermath: families left behind, their lives torn apart by the random loss of a loved one. The Empty Chair, a moving and thought-provoking drama on the death penalty, tells four stories of murder victimsÂ’ families reliving the crimes and confronting the loss of loved ones. Their instinct for revenge during trial and the debate for punishment by death climaxes in a search to forgive and heal. This highly acclaimed Hamptons film festive documentary will be screened and followed by a workshop panel discussion.
