The documentary film called Time, streaming on Amazon Prime right now, is at its core a story of enduring love 鈥� both romantic and familial. It鈥檚 also a film about mass incarceration. The film follows Sibil 鈥淔ox鈥� Richardson as she raises her six children, works as the owner of a car dealership, and relentlessly fights for her husband鈥檚 release from a Louisiana prison. The film鈥檚 original footage is interspersed with home videos that Fox made for her husband during his 21 years in prison.
We鈥檙e joined by the director of Time, Garrett Bradley. The film, her first nonfiction feature, won Garrett the 2020 Sundance Film Festival鈥檚 best director award for U.S. documentary.
