The DVD

Video:
Keeping in mind that this is a documentary, and those who create them are often more focused on the story they are telling rather than the picture quality, the quality of this particular disc is adequate. Having watch this film both on HBO and on disc, I can attest that there is no significant improvement since the film's transfer onto DVD.

Sound:
The sound quality, as with the picture, is just adequate. At times, especially during courtroom scenes, an echo can be heard, but given the fact that the state of Oklahoma most likely did not care how good the sound quality of the documentary would be, it is unlikely producers had much to work with during scenes such as these.

Extras:
There is only one extra on this disc, which is a retrospective of the career of Liz Garbus, who has been involved in some terrific documentaries, especially Girlhood, which is also a look at the criminal justice system, this time as it applies to juveniles. Another high-profile documentary she produced was The Farm: Angola, USA.

It would have been nice to see a featurette about what has happened to the principal characters who appeared in The Execution of Wanda Jean, but given the limited budgets with which producers have to work, perhaps it was not financially feasible.

Final Thoughts:
This documentary is worthy of your time. If you enjoy it, also consider another justice-themed documentary, Murder on a Sunday Morning, and be sure to check out Garbus's Girlhood.
