Twenty years ago, Lindy Lou served on a jury that sentenced Bobby Wilcher to death. In 2006, when Bobby was executed by the state of Mississippi, Lindy Lou was his only visitor. Haunted by Bobby’s death and armed with her Southern charm, Lindy Lou sets off across her home state to track down her fellow jurors and ask them what they remember about the trial. Each of their answers uncovers startlingly different recollections and coping mechanisms. Florent Vassault’s unconventional road trip crisscrosses the backroads and strip malls of the South in a determined consideration of the value of a life. As Lindy Lou reveals the consequences of her friendship with Bobby, this quiet study morphs into a paean to understanding. Vassault offers up a film, suffused with fortitude, that questions our ability to forget and forgive.(AS)
