Death Row Choir
Inmates of Luzira Prison in Kampala are literally singing for their lives. This choir of death row prisoners has recorded a unique album of songs to publicize their fight against capital punishment.
"Do not kill us, we are so sorry", sings Susan Kigula. In the first legal case of this kind, inmates are battling the government to abolish hangings. The prisoners are convicted of serious crimes, yet human rights groups claim 30-40% of inmates are innocent. There have been no executions since 1999. But with the gallows just behind the prison wall, the idea of death is close by.
