In the aftermath of 9/11, Mark Stroman went on a shooting spree to kill people he thought looked Arab. He was put on death row, but in a twist of fate, his only surviving victim became his biggest advocate. A true story of hate, revenge, and redemption.

Los Angeles Times by Michael Rechtshaffen
The rehabilitative power of forgiveness is thought-provokingly explored in Ilan Ziv’s An Eye for an Eye.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
An Eye for an Eye may very well be the most unpersuasive documentary ever made.
Evil. Deadly. Immortal.
After a mysterious skull is unearthed, residents of a village start disappearing and a pagan god hungers for the taste of virginal flesh.
