The Lena Baker Story
Based on the true story, "The Lena Baker Story" follows the life,
trial and execution of Lena Baker. Lena Baker was the first and only
woman to be executed in Georgia's electric chair. She was executed in
1945, after she was convicted of murdering a man who had imprisoned her.
In August 2005, Baker was pardoned posthumously by the state Board of
Pardons and Paroles. This movie explores the issues behind her trial and
conviction.

- "Because it is a true story, "The Lena Baker Story" is a small
film that deserves a big audience."
- "To me, this film's lesson is that, messed-up or not, you have
rights as a human being, you have civil rights under the law"
Peter Coyote (Elliot Arthur)
- "The Lena Baker Story" is a prime example of a film that appeals
to the moviegoer that wants a story, a genuine masterwork that was
made by a filmmaker that truly understands film and storytelling."
