Fox Rich is a force of nature and Bradley's film captures not only her spirit but focuses us on uncomfortable truths which could revolutionize the way we think about legal and justice issues. This is this is the story of how the American justice system lets down the guilty and how that makes the country worse for all of us.
So many stories that challenge the system problems of the legal system are focused on "innocent" people. For many of us it is only in this context that we can see how dangerous injustice is. What is remarkable about Time is the way it doesn't couch its critique in notions of the wrongly accused. Instead it asks us to look at the humanity of the guilty and how the way we punish people spills out into the rest of the community.
Bradley skillfully focuses her gaze not only on Rich but on her family and embeds us with them on their journey for justice. It is powerful and moving and for many, hopefully it will be a game changer. Bradley's work is strong enough that it just might.
