| Summary |
The medical community strongly opposes the use of medicine for executions. And yet, most states practicing lethal injections require a physician's oversight. Because of this conflict, states go to great lengths to conceal the identities of participating medical personnel. But Dr. Carlo Musso has been public about his decade-plus long tenure on Georgia's execution team. THE SANDMAN follows a doctor torn between the Hippocratic Oath and a commitment to provide what he calls "end of life care" within the correctional environment. And yet, Dr. Musso personally opposes the practice of capital punishment. This short documentary explores one doctor's equivocation and justification as he grapples with his own moral conflict and asks audiences to consider how medicine might mask the violent nature of such a practice. Official Selection at **DOC NYC**. |
