Charlottenborg Art Cinema: Innocent on Death Row

The new cinema at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Charlottenborg Art Cinema, has been given a unique opportunity through February and March when the cinema will be screening a series of acclaimed documentaries selected by the Why Foundation and created by some of the most respected documentarists.

The Why Foundation has selected 20 award-winning journalistic documentaries and distributed the films in a collected series called World Stories annually since 2015. Kunsthal Charlottenborg and The Why Foundation has collaborated on the screening of four films as a prelude to CPH:DOX by the title World Stories at Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

Innocent on Death Row:
The boy ’Paco’ is innocently convicted for murder and rape in a town 500 km from his home in Manila. The absurdities and the injustice permeates this alluring documentary on the corruption and power which sentences an innocent, young boy to begin his life as ’guilty’ in a Philippine prison and who to this day remain incarcerated in Spain.

The case, which has surprisingly little focus on the real victims, becomes a matter of conspiracy and diversion in a heavy legal system. Pacos case is still active and can be followed by several media platforms such as www.facebook.com/FreePacoNow.

Duration: 45 min
Instruction: Michael Collins and Marty Syjuco
Country: The Philippines

The documentary will be played continuously from  March 9 at 11 a.m. until March 12 at 5 p.m.
