THE FEAR OF 13
A film by David Sington

95 minutes, documentary, color, English, 2015

Part confessional and part performance, this haunting psychological thriller is a stylistically daring experiment in storytelling.

Nick, a death row inmate, petitions the court to be executed. As he goes on to tell his story, it gradually becomes clear that nothing is quite what it seems. Nick spins his tale with all the twists and turns of classic crime drama, with a final shocking twist that casts everything in a new light.

“The staggering true story of a convicted murderer who demanded his own execution after 20 years on death row. Engrossing.” - Variety

“Filled with unexpected twists, jaw-dropping developments and the heartwarming, hard-earned sense of a person able to transcend even the most humbling of circumstances, [this] is the kind of captivating monologue that works its way under the viewer's skin. Utterly spellbinding.” - Screen Daily
