Last Day of Freedom: Bill Babbitt supported the death penalty … until it came knocking at his door.

Bill fondly recalls early life with his brother Manny, but a childhood car accident leaves Manny forever changed. Two tours in Vietnam only compound Manny’s mental health issues. After the war, bouts of paranoia leave him living on the streets.
In this deeply personal animated short, Bill explores his attempt to do the “right” thing as familial bonds, mental illness and murder tug a close relationship in conflicting directions.
Last Day of Freedom has been nominated for a 2016 Academy Award in the Best Documentary Short Subject category.
The film has won numerous awards, including the Jury Award for Best Short at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival; the Center for Documentary Studies Filmmaker Award at Full Frame; the Justice for All Award at the (In) Justice Film Festival; and the audience award at SF DocFest.
A film by Dee Hibbert-Jones & Nomi Talisman.
