An amazing and horrifying life story told through the eyes of death-row inmate Nick Yarris. About the injustice and dehumanizing conditions in America's Federal prison systems. An eye-opener for everyman. Highly recommendable. I cried for a long time at the end of this documentary.

What sense does it make to only achieve firsts? And what is the role of the Pyrenees themselves in this reciprocal and endless game of attraction?Spock's Beard - Don't...
