TRUTH IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY...!
31 March 2021
A 2020 documentary (currently nominated for an Oscar) airing on Amazon Prime. Focusing on the efforts of a woman, Fox Rich, through a 20 year odyssey of trying to get her husband released from jail while trying to raise her kids & being a firebrand in her church preaching about the inequities of the prison system. Shot on black & white video & possibly through only cellphone footage, the drama is front & center (& told in a fractured narrative where we jump back & forth in time) which can be enlightening & quite sobering sometimes in the expanse of the same frame. The only niggling thing are the facts which have been left from the story (the couple were running a sporting goods store in Louisiana but when business got tough, they resorted to an attempted bank robbery which entailed both of them to be arrested), especially in the age of the constant barrage of true crime coverage on the air where a complete picture of events (a bank robbery is serious business!) may clarify any questions the viewers may have.
