The Call is an inside look at the turbulent jury selection process in Italy. In Italy, citizens can be summoned at a day’s notice for potential jury duty. 60 common citizens are randomly selected by a computer and notified by the police in person to appear in court—by the end of the day, 6 people are selected to be jurors. Shot with three cameras from a fly-on-the-wall perspective, director Enrico Maisto chronicles the selection process in Milan’s Court of Assize—which tries the country’s most notorious crimes—capturing the expression of worried potential jurors as they nervously wait to be individually interviewed by lead judge Anna Conforti. Their whispers, nervous questions, humorous comments, and discomfort are all captured and brought together in a soft cacophony full of reflection on a little-known civic duty.

Life and Death Row returns to take viewers back into the heart of the American death penalty system. This hard-hitting series follows two stories. The first is set in Arkansas, where eight men are scheduled to be executed within 10 days of each other – because one of the drugs used in their lethal injection cocktail is expiring. The second story follows convicted murderer John Henry Ramirez as he approaches his execution date.
In this episode we meet death row inmate Stacey Johnson, who is scheduled to be executed for a crime that he claims he didn't commit. With just weeks to go, his wife Judy and stepdaughter Tasha are doing all they can to stop the execution from going ahead. We also meet Susan, whose mother was murdered in a home invasion by inmate Don Davis in 1990. Susan has been waiting for Davis's execution for decades and wants justice to finally be carried out so she and her family can find peace.
