The documentary Love Lived on Death Row tells  The searing and complex story
of a murder and its effects on a family screens
 
Love Lived on Death Row tells the story of the four Syriani siblings whose
father was sentenced to die for the murder of their mother in 1990, and Meg
Eggleston, who became their father's friend and spiritual advisor through
letters to him in his North Carolina prison.

Orphaned and estranged, the Syriani children raised themselves while they
lived with hate, anger and confusion as the man they could only refer to as
"Him Him" lived on death row. But in 2004 they collectively decided to visit
him in prison, seeking answers so they could move on with their adult lives..
What transpired that day was a miracle of forgiveness followed by a journey
of healing, restoring family memories and then a battle for his clemency.

Love Lived on Death Row is more than an incredible story of forgiveness and
love. It is a story of tragic loss, transformation, hope and how capital
punishment affects the families of death row inmates.

Director Linda Booker will lead a panel discussion after the screening.
Guests will include Durham County Commissioner Brenda Howerton and members
of the NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Murder Victims' Families
for Reconciliation.

Admission is $5 for general public, FREE for Southern Documentary Fund

of two and a half years, both before and during renovations by Blue Devil
Partners (BDP). Commissioned in 2005 by BDP based upon a proposal by
Anderson, the images are destined to grace the walls of the renovated
locations in which they were photographed, the "before" picture hanging in
the "after" space. WHEN THE DUST SETTLES will be on display and available
