Boardinghouse owner Mary Surratt was one of four Southern sympathizers who was tried, convicted and executed for conspiring to assassinate President Lincoln.  Believed by many to have been innocent, Mrs. Surratt was nevertheless charged with the crime and within two months would swing from the gallows in Washington D.C.  Was Mary truly guilty of the crime, or just a busy mother and innkeeper in the wrong place at the wrong time?  While the film's aim is to leave it for you to decide, her story will ultimately remind you of the dangers of mass hysteria, criminal profiling, and trigger-happy vengeance following a national tragedy.Based in part on Mary Surratt's defense attorney's last minute plea to President Andrew Johnson to spare Mrs. Surratt from execution, this critically acclaimed film has been accepted to film festivals across the U.S.  It also won BEST SHORT FILM at the Sacramento Film & Music Festival in Sacramento.Special Features on the DVD include:1) On Mary Surratt:  An Interview with director Chris King2) Behind-the-Scenes Footage and Photos3) Sounds of Mary:  Scoring the Film with composer Richard Altenbach4) Real Photos of the Real Prisoners Before Their Execution5) Actress Mary Beth Barber's audition6) Filmmaker Audio Commentary on More Surratt History7) Filmmaker Audio Commentary on the Making of the FilmThis product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
