Legal Memory -- Film Description:
"In 1959, a nondescript introvert named Leo Mantha was executed in British Columbia. Convicted of murdering a young man, his lover, on a Victoria naval base, Mantha went into the books as the last man hanged in that province. [...] Steele and Tomczak bring a visual as well as a conceptual sophistication to the film, using swimming video textures and the dreamy quality of archival footage as counterpoint to the bleak facts of the narrative."
