The Execution of Gary Glitter?
Set in a parallel Britain where the death penalty has been reintroduced following overwhelming public pressure, this extraordinary and innovative court-room drama-doc explores whether capital punishment has a place in modern society. Surveys consistently show that public support for the reintroduction of the death penalty remains high - particularly for high profile cases involving children. So, in this challenging film, the public’s wish has been granted. The film uses the immediately recognizable figure of Paul Francis Gadd, aka Gary Glitter, in a fictional scenario, to engage the viewer with the passions this debate arouses, and to explore what it means to execute a human being in 21st century Britain.
