Local News and Announcements... Don't miss anything...please scroll downAward-winning documentary “Picture This: A Fight to Save Joe"We wanted to remind you that the award-winning documentary “Picture This: A Fight to Save Joe,” about the legal battle to stop the execution of Joe Amrine, will be screened at the Ragtag Cinemacafé in Columbia on Wednesday, May 25 at 7 p.m. There will be a $12 cover for the event with proceeds going to help with Joe’s living expenses. John McHale, director of the documentary, and Joe Amrine will be in attendance at the screening. Danny Glover provided narration for the documentary.The documentary, is a follow-up to “Unreasonable Doubt,” which was a catalytic factor in the Missouri Supreme Court’s decision to re-consider Joe Amrine’s death sentence, vindicate him, and help set him free in 2003. “Picture This” draws viewers into the public fight to stop the execution of Joe Amrine, a Missouri man who was on death row for 17 years, despite there being neither witnesses nor evidence against him. This documentary reveals the empowering potential of video and the truth. In addition to the Columbia showing, “Picture This” has been shown at a United Nations Human Rights Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, the annual meeting of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers in New York City, and the National Communication Association Convention in Kansas City. The May 25 Columbia screening will be co-sponsored by the Mid-Missouri Fellowship of Reconciliation. Proceeds will support Joe through the Public Interest Litigation Clinic, which defended him in his appeals and is his current employer. “It’s exciting to be showing the documentary in Columbia from where Joe received so much support from his legal team and supporters,” said McHale, an Assistant Professor of Communication at Illinois State University. Joe Amrine’s case reminds us that mistakes are made in our judicial system and highlights the need for a moratorium on executions with a thorough study of the death penalty.
