NO TOMORROW investigates the murder of Risa Bejarano, the principle subject of a recent film about teenagers leaving foster care. NO TOMORROW explores how a film about Risa’s last year of life unexpectedly became the centerpiece of a chilling death penalty trial. The trial’s most dramatic moments in Judge Lance Ito’s courtroom were filmed, including a heated debate over the prosecutor’s use of a film to persuade the jury to impose the death penalty. While the trial coverage focused on whether Juan Chavez deserves to die, several leading death penalty experts addressed the broader question of whether the state deserves to kill. Ultimately, the unique film-within-a-film perspective of NO TOMORROW takes viewers inside a suspenseful death penalty trial and challenges their beliefs about capital punishment.
