The last public execution in the US was in 1936. But for centuries before, Americans regularly gathered by the thousands to watch them. They were public spectacles, meant to teach a lesson about power. Here’s a clip from CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN AMERICA, premiering Nov 16 on @PBS.
Excited to announce that I'm working on a new film about the history of Central Park to air on PBS in 2028. The Park is the highest democratic expression of what a city should be as well a shared backyard, and place to experience the healing power of nature. @CentralParkNYC

I've been attending @OfficialTCA gatherings forever. @LynnNovick @sbotstein and I are honored to accept this award for The US and the Holocaust. TCA members are the very definition of working press - and should be proud as hell of that. Thank you.

We are so honored to receive three Emmy nominations for our film, The U.S. and the Holocaust.
We will never work on a more difficult – or more important – film.

For every $1 a state invests in college-in-prison, it saves $4-5 on reincarceration costs. Public support for programs like @BPIBard is how we smartly invest in people & education over prisons & punishment. Thanks Senator @MichelleHinchey for your support.dailyfreeman.com/2023/05/05/…

What do Senator Fetterman, Dr. Joel Fein and Miss Pennsylvania have in common? They all care passionately about keeping kids safe from firearms!
