Dead Man Walking

I watched the DVD "Dead Man Walking."

Synopsis

A caring nun (Susan Sarandon) receives a desperate letter from a death row inmate (Sean Penn) trying to find help to avoid execution for murder. Over the course of the time to the convict's death, the nun begins to show empathy, not only with the pathetic man, but also with the victims and their families. In the end, that nun must decide how she will deal with the paradox of caring for that condemned man while understanding the heinousness of his crimes.
