''On Death Row'' is a television mini-series written and directed by Werner Herzog. The series of four episodes grew out of the same project which produced Herzog's documentary film ''Into the Abyss''. The series first aired in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2012 on Channel 4.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/9161401/Death-Row-episode-1-Channel-4-review.html〕 Each episode of the series focuses on a specific murder case and those convicted of the crimes, each of whom was on death row during filming. The four cases profiled are:〔 *James Barnes, convicted of two murders *Joseph Garcia and George Rivas, members of the Texas Seven. Rivas, the leader of the Texas Seven, was executed on February 29, 2012, aged 41.〔http://www.indiewire.com/article/2012/03/02/werner-herzogs-on-death-row-subject-executed〕 *Hank Skinner, convicted of murdering a woman and her two sons *Linda Carty, convicted of murdering a woman and stealing her four-day-old child ==Production and release== One of the originally planned episodes of the series was expanded to feature length and released theatrically as ''Into the Abyss'' in November 2011. Both the film and the series used the same production crew.〔 Herzog's visits with the inmates were very constrained, and he was typically granted only two hours for filming with each inmate. In an introduction to the broadcast of the first episode, it was stated that Herzog only was allowed two sessions of one hour each with his first subject, James Barnes. The series showed at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale Special) on , a month before its television premiere.〔 When the series aired on Investigation Discovery brief introductions by Paula Zahn were inserted after each commercial break. These "bumpers" were poorly received in reviews.〔http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/119705〕〔http://www.avclub.com/articles/on-death-row,70680/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「On Death Row」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
