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
