Any last words before you die?
This is the basic concept of a unique reality show in the Chinese province of Henan entitled “Interviews BeforeExecution”.
   Catering to the macabre fascination humans have for death, its audience of forty million viewers makes it one of the most watched programmes in the province.
   China has never kept its faith in the effectiveness of the death penalty a secret. Fifty-five crimes carry the death penalty, and it is estimated that there are thousands of executions per year (statistics are, however, one thing that China does keep secret).
   Dead Men Talking is directed by Robin Newell and follows Ding Yu, the presenter and producer of “Interviews Before Execution”, as she interviews prisoners on death row about the circumstances of their crimes and how the knowledge of their impending death affects them, sometimes just minutes before their sentences are carried out.
