No Tomorrow

Running time: 80 mins

A film from the past determines the fate of a murderer.

In their film Aging Out (Cinequest 2004), Oscar-nominated Roger Weisberg and Oscar-winning Vanessa Roth portrayed the struggle of young people breaking out of the foster care system. Shortly after the film was completed, one of the subjects, Risa Bejarano, was brutally murdered. And to the dismay of Weisberg and Roth, their film played an integral role in determining whether the person accused of killing Risa was to live or die.

No Tomorrow compellingly focuses on the trial of Risa?s killer, while provocatively examining the broader question of the death penalty itself. In probing that controversial issue, No Tomorrow brilliantly paints a picture of the lives of both victim and murderer, showing how fate and circumstances led to Risa?s untimely death.

As Weisberg and Roth are involuntarily thrust into the reality of the death penalty, No Tomorrow offers a fascinating challenge for us to contemplate our own beliefs on the punishment for the most egregious of crimes.
