“The Execution of Solomon Harris” is a new short film featured at Sundance this year and continuing on the film festival circuit. While the story (fictional, but based on an old news account) is meant to take place about thirty years ago, the questions it raises couldn’t be more relevant to today. In the film, an execution goes horribly wrong, and the warden, with protocols unable to guide him, has to decide what to do.
