Join us for a discussion with Garrett Bradley, director of TIME, a new documentary that follows the story of Fox Rich as she fights for her husband's release from the Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly known as Angola. She will be joined in conversation by Nicole Gonazlez Van Cleve, associate professor of sociology, and award-winning author of the book, "Crook County: Racism and Injustice in America's Largest Criminal Court." Moderated by Edward Steinfeld, director of the Watson Institute.
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.
