Hope & Redemption:
The Lena Baker Story
Based on the true story, Hope & Redemption: The Lena Baker Story follows the life,
trial and execution of Lena Baker. She was the first and only
woman to be executed in Georgia's electric chair. She was executed in
1945, after she was convicted of murdering a man who had imprisoned her.
In August 2005, Baker was pardoned posthumously by the state Board of
Pardons and Paroles. This movie explores the issues behind her trial and
conviction.
