In 1987 Kris Maharaj, a wealthy British businessman, is sentenced to death for a double homicide in a luxury Miami hotel. The case seems open and shut until an idealistic attorney named Clive Stafford Smith uncovers powerful evidence supporting an alternative explanation of the killings – one that shines a light on the city’s booming drug trafficking and money-laundering operations. Each episode of Death Row Stories will unravel a different capital murder case that has twists and turns worthy of a crime thriller. All of these stories are true, and call into question the myriad of beliefs about the death penalty and the American justice system itself. Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking), whose Oscar honor was awarded for her powerfully moving portrayal of the Louisiana-based Catholic nun Sister Helen Prejean, who ministers to death row inmates and advocates for the abolition of capital punishment, will narrate each episode in the series. Academy Award-winning directors Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side) and Robert Redford (Ordinary People) will serve as Executive Producers.
