Time by Garrett Bradley
Discover a new film and converse with the director through a live Q&A with our virtual monthly film series.
For October, the selected film is TIME, a portrait of mass incarceration in America, by award-winning director Garrett Bradley. Join us for a special screening with Amazon Studios followed by a Q&A with Bradley and filmmaker RaMell Ross. Audiences will have the opportunity to view the film before its limited theatrical release to the public.
“On its surface, Garrett Bradley’s Time asks a simple question: How can you convey the full length of 21 years in the span of a single film, let alone a documentary that runs just 81 minutes? And from its degraded opening images… offers a similarly simple answer: You don’t measure it in length, but rather in loss.” – Indiewire

About the Film
Fox Rich is a fighter. The entrepreneur, abolitionist, and mother of six boys has spent the last two decades campaigning for the release of her husband, Rob G. Rich, who is serving a 60-year sentence for a robbery they both committed in the early 90s in a moment of desperation. Combining the video diaries Fox has recorded for Rob over the years with intimate glimpses of her present-day life, director Garrett Bradley paints a mesmerizing portrait of the resilience and radical love necessary to prevail over the endless separations of the country’s prison-industrial complex.
