Plot Synopsis
"Mr. Death" is a biography/documentary that features Fred Leuchter, an executioner. Leuchter researches into finding more humane ways to execute people. He traveled to prisons and worked to make the electric chair, lethal injections, gallows and gas chambers more efficient and humane.A Nazi sympathizer, Ernest Zunde gets arrested in Canada and calls upon Leuchter to assert that there was no Holocaust. Leuchter travels to Auschwitz to obtain rock samples from the gas chambers for testing to see if they were indeed used for putting Jews to death. The rest of the film is the aftermath of his report stating that he agreed that the Holocaust never occurred.

Reviews
"seems so much the quintessential Morris project -- with its mix of death and humor, the goony and the profound -- that even Mr. Morris gets a little nervous talking about it, and not just because of the political sensitivity of the subject matter."—Peter Appleboumhttp://www.errolmorris.com/content/review/mrd_applebome.html"The resulting film is neither as powerful nor as thought-provoking as it started out to be. Mr. Death will not change many minds, let alone provide the spark that at long last ignites a dispassionate look at Holocaust extermination claims."—Greg Ravenhttp://www.ihr.org/jhr/v18/v18n5p62_Raven.html
