My name is Dave Maass; I'm a grad student in documentary film at the University of Manchester (UK). I've recently completed a film on death penalty defense investigator Mary Durand (AZ) and I was hoping you'd watch it and give me some feedback.

Under Arizona law, anyone facing a possible death sentence has a right to a "mitigation investigator." This specialist's job is to find elements in the convicted killer's past to present to the jury in the hopes that they may assign a life sentence instead of the death penalty. Mary Durand is one of these investigators, but as she nears her 60th birthday, she ponders whether it's time to leave the business.
