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.

with your member newsletter or link it to your web site.
The URL where you can download the film (122mb WMV version is recommended) is

Thanks!

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.
