Shot in the Heart
He was worth more dead than he ever was alive... but not to me. I was Gary Gilmore's brother.
A deeply introspective family drama that examines inherited trauma and moral reckoning through one man's struggle to understand his brother's violent legacy.
The story of a man coming to terms with the sins and secrets of his notorious brother and, in the process, exploring the legacy of violence in his own family.
