Few issues in American culture are as emotionally explosive as capital punishment. The death penalty is a particularly sensitive topic now that the Supreme Court has opened the door for thousands of suspended executions to move forward. But filmmaker Steve James isn't someone who shies away from controversial topics. We discuss his most recent documentary on the death penalty, and look back at his previous work -- which tackled everything from the Iraq war to the cruelty of inner-city life in Chicago.
