The Road To Huntsville

'I’m trying to understand why British women fall in love with men on death row. I’m corresponding with Jonny, incarcerated in Texas. I’m trying to understand how the death penalty fits into our world. I’m trying not to be judgemental'.

As seen on BBC2’s Edinburgh Nights, The Road to Huntsville blends fact with fiction and is an exploration into unconventional love, state homicide and cats.
