about
In this touching next chapter of their saga, Sibil Fox and Robert Richardson, the notable couple from the Oscar-nominated film TIME (2020), return to the battleground of Louisiana’s carceral state to fight for the release of their nephew and co-defendant from the clutches of a merciless system and ultimately discover that the purpose of freedom is to free others.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
"To be free is to free others."
Since walking out of prison in 2002, this statement has consumed me. And in my efforts to liberate others, I have discovered no greater means than the art of storytelling through film. It is with great humility and gratitude that I present my film TIME II: Unfinished Business.
This project is the realization of a promise made and a commitment fulfilled, caught on camera. It is born out of the belief that stories have the power to right wrongs and foster just outcomes. Through the unflinching lens of this documentary, I aim to shed light on the struggles and racial biases that those helplessly entangled in the criminal justice system endure in their attempts to make amends.
I strive to capture the essence of personal transformation, the complexities of rebuilding lives, and the profound impact of love, family, and community in the lives of the condemned. Through intimate storytelling and immersive visuals, I hope to evoke empathy, challenge preconceptions, and inspire audiences to question the very foundation of our justice system.
I am privileged to have had the opportunity to embark on this cinematic journey and to collaborate with a dedicated team of artists and storytellers who share my vision. Together, we have poured our hearts and souls into this project, driven by a collective desire for social change and a world where justice is truly equitable.
It is my sincerest hope that audiences will consider TIME II: Unfinished Business not just a film, but a call to action. By amplifying these narratives, we pave the way toward a more just and compassionate society.
