I, Olga Hepnarova (2016)

Dark and disturbing, this insightful biography brings to light the tragic story of Olga Hepnarová (1951–1975), a Czechoslovakian woman who is remembered as being the last woman to be executed in her country.

Olga Hepnarová is forced to endure nearly constant mistreatment and alienation from a very young age. As a teenager, she faces tremendous challenges in her attempt to come to terms with her sexuality, consequently turning angry and bitter. She is a young, lonely lesbian outsider who is not able to fit in, who is completely unable to play the part society desires of her. She tries her best to examine herself and her inability to connect with people, that finally drives her over the edge of humanity.

Consequently, at the age of 22, she is driven to commit an unconscionable crime that does irrevocable damage to her life. In Prague, she goes out in a fit of rage, takes a truck and kills eight people. She is arrested for this heinous act on July 10, 1973, labelled a massmurderer, convicted for the crime and sentenced to death. What kind of life can push a young woman to commit such an act?
