>From Friends at ART Theatre:
> 
> I wanted to inform you about a very important
> event coming to our area, that I think you might be
> interested in. Former Illinois Governor George Ryan and filmmaker
> Kirsten Johnson will be in town to present a special
> screening of Johnson's controversial film, "Deadline", which
> premiered this year at Sundance Film Festival. "Deadline"
> follows Ryan's decision to grant blanket clemency to all 167
> people on death row in Illinois, commuting their sentences to
> life without parole. It also is a compelling look inside
> America's prisons, highlighting one man's unlikely and
> historic actions against the system. This film will only
> screen once in our area, and will be followed by a question
> and answer session with former Governor Ryan and Ms. Johnson.
> The film will screen at Boardman's Art Theatre on January
> 30th at 4:30pm. Tickets are already on sale, and you can
> purchase them online for a $2 discount.

> "DEADLINE"
> *This film has not been rated.
> 
> What would you do if you discovered that 13 people slated for
> execution had been found innocent? That was exactly the
> question that Illinois Governor George Ryan faced in his
> final days in office. He alone was left to decide whether 167
> death row inmates should live or die. In the riveting
> countdown to Ryan's decision, "Deadline" details the gripping
> drama of the state's clemency hearings. Documented as the
> events unfold, "Deadline" is a compelling look inside
> America's prisons, highlighting one man's unlikely and
> historic actions against the system.
