No Tomorrow focuses on the murder of Risa Bejarano, the principal subject of Aging Out, a documentary about teenagers leaving foster care. No Tomorrow explores how Aging Out unexpectedly documented the last year of Risa’s life and became the centerpiece of a chilling homicide investigation and death penalty trial.
While the trial focused on whether Risa's murderer deserves the death penalty, several leading experts address the broader question of whether the state should be empowered to end his life. Ultimately, the unique film-within-a-film perspective of No Tomorrow takes viewers inside a suspenseful death penalty trial and challenges beliefs about capital punishment.

"This excellent documentary film makes a case against the death penalty—not just as is usually done, by choosing easy cases of injustice, but rather by focusing on a case in which the murder victim is sympathetic and the defendant almost certainly guilty. That the film is still able to make a strong, non-polemic case against the death penalty makes it particularly effective."
‒Ken Roth, Executive Director, Human Rights Watch
"Terrific. Riveting. Very thoughtful. Really lays out the death penalty issue comprehensively."
‒Barry Sheck, Co-Founder/Co-Director, The Innocence Project
"The breadth of coexisiting intellectual and emotional arguments asks that the audience not immediately respond to the case but that they try to understand and challenge their own thinking. And they will. It is impossible to watch No Tomorrow and not feel provoked in the best, most refreshing way possible."
