Condemned to die for a crime he says he didn’t commit, Keith LaMar—a poet, educator, and humanitarian—faces a January 13, 2027 execution date as he fights to prove his innocence and expose a system determined to kill him. This film offers an intimate, unfiltered portrait of Keith in the final stretch of his life, exploring how he has sustained hope and humanity through three decades in solitary confinement. During that time, he has written a memoir, recorded a jazz album with Grammy-winning musicians, created an award-winning animated film, and led transformative educational and arts initiatives from prison. As Keith continues his legal battle, he is joined by a global coalition of artists, activists, attorneys, and athletes whose efforts blur the lines between advocacy and art. Through his story, the film also confronts urgent questions about innocence, race, incarceration, and the future of capital punishment in America.
