In 2012, Lara Kelland, a history instructor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, taught a history course in which she and her students interviewed members of the Illinois Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and people who were sympathetic to the Coalition's goals. These interviews were recorded as digital files, and those files have been copied onto DVD's.
