There are plenty of documentaries that insert home video footage, but this is something fundamentally different. Rather than a bit of home video footage inside a film maker's container, this documentary feels like it emerges fully from 20 years of home recordings - you sense the passage of time, you see kindergardeners become college students, you feel the weight of 2 decades worth of hoping for parole. As a result, Bradley accomplishes far more than he could have with a collection of talking heads like 13th. You live with the Rich family, and you feel what our prison system does to them. To us. As a result, you somehow experience 21 years in a quick 80 minutes. It is moving, to say the least.
