TRIBUTE: Stanley Tookie Williams is a powerful documentary that examines death row prisoner, Crips gang co-founder, children's book author and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Stanley Tookie Williams. The international campaign for clemency to save him from death by lethal injection ended on December 13, 2005, at 12:35 a.m., when he was pronounced dead after clemency was denied by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Based on their real-life experience at San Quentin's death chamber witnessing his botched execution (it took him 35 minutes to die). The producers filmed the staged reenactment, enabling TRIBUTE to offer a very intimate view of capital punishment. TRIBUTE includes provocative eulogies by Snoop Dogg, Tony Robbins and Louis Farrakhan--speaking at the memorial service of Stanley Tookie Williams--and never-before-seen footage of his ashes scattered by Becnel and Neal in Soweto, South Africa. This was his last wish.
