Garrett Bradley uses home movies and a lyrical style to tell the story of watching a loved one locked away
The idea that the mass incarceration of African Americans is in effect a modern form of slavery has been explored in several powerful documentaries, ranging from Sam Pollard’s 2012 Slavery by Another Name (from Douglas A Blackmon’s book) to Ava DuVernay’s Oscar-nominated 13th (2016). But while others have tended to concentrate on statistics, history and politics, director Garrett Bradley goes the other way in her film Time, conjuring an almost expressionist account of the experiences of a family torn apart by prison, examining the toll that jail time takes on those outside the prison walls.
Despite headlines at the time, there was little Bonnie and Clyde glamour to the bank robbery that landed Fox Rich (Aka Sibil Fox Richardson) and her husband, Robert, in prison in the late 90s.
