This is powerful: Walter C. Long: An Open Letter to Richard Linklater on Our Texas Death Penalty.
There are Linklater films that I love, like the "Before" series, I found Boyhood
stunning. I don't know if I could manage God Save Texas: Hometown Prison
, usually when I turn to the screen I'm looking for light escape, but it sounds like it's powerful. This essay sure is.

The Texas Observer reminds me time and again that even in the deepest heart of red darkness there are still many many people who are on the right side of life. It's important to remember that 60-40 election losses, while disheartening, mean that 40% of the people there voted democratic.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
