About This Movie

So, 'Made in the USA' is this documentary that digs into the execution of Odell Barnes in Texas. It’s not flashy or overdone, just a raw examination of his case, and that really strikes you. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of each testimony to sink in. You get a sense of the lives intertwined with his, from family to legal counsel, as they share their perspectives on what went wrong. It’s all about the notion of justice—or the lack thereof, really. There's a chilling atmosphere that lingers, especially considering Barnes' background plays a huge role in the narrative. It’s definitely one that leaves you pondering the broader implications of capital punishment, rather than just recounting a story.
