LINDY LOU, JUROR NUMBER 2

 

  

DCP - HD – France - 2017 - 85 min

 

 

Original Language: English

 Directed by: Florent Vassault

Written by: Florent Vassault & Cécile Vargaftig

Produced by: Andolfi

In coproduction with: Orlando Studio

 

 

 

Lindy, a former juror, starts a journey through Mississippi looking for the 11 jurors alongside who she sentenced a man to death, 20 years ago.

 

 

 

Looking like 12 ANGRY MEN, Lindy’s story is all but fictional.

 

For 20 years, she has lived with an unbearable feeling of guilt and no one, in this Republican and Protestant community, understood her distress.

 

In 2006, Lindy met the man, Bobby Wilcher, who didn’t have a single visitor on death row in Parchman. She sought his forgiveness and became his friend. This friendship shocked and she lost dear friends along the way.

 

Lindy was the only visitor Bobby Wilcher had on the day of his execution and she remembers seeing him in shackles in the middle of the room, glancing one last time in her direction before passing away.

 

Traumatized, this is how Lindy begins her journey and finds her 11 fellow jurors since they sentenced this man to death and questions the impact this experience had on them.
