The Fear of 13
Watch TrailerNick Yarris, after twenty-three years on Death Row, files an extraordinary motion with the court: he asks for his own execution to be expedited. His one-man performance, rich with poetic details and chilling specifics of prison life, slowly morphs into a puzzle. Each new chapter of Nick's story—from a reckless youth to the courtroom—calls the previous one into question. The viewer becomes an investigator, forced to sift truth from narrative in a tale where the justice system itself emerges as the prime suspect.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This documentary blurs the line between confession and thriller, entrusting the entire narrative power to one man and his word. Director David Sington employs minimalism masterfully, turning each shot into a tense psychological stage.
What lingers after the final frame is a profound unease about the fallibility of memory and the justice meant to protect us. It's an experience that challenges not just a case, but our own capacity for judgment — MovieFinder Editorial
