63

John Battaglia was due to be picked up by the police in the morning for violating his parole again. He was granted one last visit with his daughters, Faith, aged nine, and Liberty, six. When their mother talked with them on the phone, they were frightened. All she heard was them pleading No, daddy, don't! followed by the sound of a gunshot. She screamed down the phone Run, girls, run! This documentary explores two horrific stories. With haunting interviews with the killers, plus emotional exchanges with the daughters, this brand new film presents two extraordinary crimes and their criminals in an open, revealing, and honest light. Beautifully shot and with extraordinary access and cooperation from the murderers, Texan prison and staff, and even some protesters fighting for the life of one of the convicts, this film is a captivating look at true crime and the families left behind
