Based on Mikal Gilmore’s book., Gary Gilmore is about to become the first convicted murderer to be executed in a decade. His brother Mikal can help prevent the execution, but first he has to come to terms with the brother he barely knew. Together, they discover a shared past, born of a brutal father, raised in a family haunted by death, religion and superstition. With a media storm raging outside the prison, another storm is brewing inside as a tortured son meets his brother and his fate., This gripping drama is based on the real-life story of Mikal Gilmore, a respected journalist whose brother Gary Gilmore was a felon convicted of murder. In 1977, after he was sentenced to death, Gary Gilmore generated international controversy when he demanded that his lawyers call off all attempts to appeal his sentence and requested that his execution be carried out as quickly as possible. As activists for and against the issue of capital punishment debated Gilmore’s demand, his brothers Frank and Mikal stepped forward to request a stay of execution, in hopes of forestalling their brother’s death despite his public requests. Based on the book of the same name by Mikal Gilmore, Shot in the Heart examines the close, if uneasy, bond between the Gilmore brothers, and the family history of abuse and violence that Mikal believed helped shape his brother into a killer.
