In 1946, four German prisoners of war were executed alongside Donald Sherman Staley - one of Canada's first known serial killers.

Recorded in April, Lee sat down with filmmaker Carla Olson to talk about her documentary, 'The Last Hangman', which focuses on this fascinating story. Carla Olson is a producer, writer and director. Her film ‘The Last Hangman’ is being released in fall 2018.
