Filmmaker Michael Moore was among the worldwide audience watching Democracy Now!'s live coverage from outside the prison where death row prisoner Troy Davis was executed on September 21 — despite significant doubt of his guilt. Moore describes how he was inspired by one of the people Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman interviewed at the protest outside the prison shortly after news of the execution was announced. The man, who introduced himself as Wesley Boyd, immediately called for a boycott of the state of Georgia in response to the execution of Davis.
