Mr.Death The Rise And Fall Of Fred A. Leuchter

Frederick Leuchter Junior is an odd character with an interesting profession, and past. Leuchter is the son of a prison worker and as such he claims to have witnessed an execution when he was young. This was the start of a path that led him to working on electric chairs and instruments used for execution in prisons across the United States.

The film by Errol Morris introduces us to a slight geeky looking man who in his own words is doing a job someones gotta do. Even if that meant at times even taking his work home which he did when he took the electric chair from a Tennessee prison to his house to work on. If someone working on tools for execution was not enough for a good documentary the plot takes a twist as we learn of Leuchter's connection's to Ernst Zündel a published and Jailed Holocaust denier.
