Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman

Streaming video - 2005

Albert Pierrepoint (Timothy Spall) finds great success as Britain's most famous public executioner and his notoriety rises to a new level after he is selected to hang Nazi war criminals after the Nuremberg trials. The experience changes him, and he begins to question the morality of his vocation at the same time that abolitionists begin a campaign to end hanging.
