In Lise's film archives,
:02:11
we found an unfinished documentary
on the death penalty.
:02:14
There was an interview
with Aro Tolbukhin,
:02:16
a Hungarian executed in Guatemala
for burning 7 people alive.
:02:22
We were struck by Tolbukhin's story.
:02:26
We decided to complete
the unfinished project.
:02:30
We began with Lise and Keetman's
:02:32
footage and notes
:02:34
gathered in the early 80s.
:02:36
The footage included interviews
with people who knew him.
:02:39
And also one with Tolbukhin
while at the Pavon Prison.
:02:48
A few weeks after that interview
:02:50
Tolbukhin was executed in May 1982.

I went out and waIked to the shed
:03:01
where we kept the fueI.
:03:05
I fiIIed one of the cans
:03:07
and went to the cIinic.
:03:18
The first one to see me come in
:03:22
was Rodrigo.
:03:23
Rodrigo was a Ketchi Indian boy.
:03:28
He had a gangrened Ieg.
:03:33
When Rodrigo saw me come in,
:03:37
he thought I was bringing water.
:03:40
He toId me he was thirsty.
:03:43
I thought that was funny.
:03:50
He was...
:03:51
the first one I doused.
:03:55
At first he Iaughed.
:03:58
Then he started crying
