Into the Abyss

A gaze into the abyss of the human soul.

A meditative, philosophically rigorous documentary that uses intimate interviews with death row inmates to probe mortality, meaning, and the nature of human evil.

We do not know when and how we will die. Death Row inmates do. Werner Herzog embarks on a dialogue with Death Row inmates, asks questions about life and death and looks deep into these individuals, their stories, their crimes.
