Overview
Time is an Academy Award-nominated 2020 American documentary film produced and directed by Garrett Bradley. It follows Sibil Fox Richardson, fighting for the release of her husband, Rob, who was serving a 60-year prison sentence for engaging in an armed bank robbery.
Sibil Fox served three and a half years for her role in the armed robbery. Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards granted Rob clemency in 2018 after serving 21 years in prison for his crimes.
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2020, where Bradley won the US Documentary Directing Award, the first African-American woman to do so. It was released theatrically on October 9, 2020, and digitally on Amazon Prime Video on October 16, 2020 by Amazon Studios. Although the film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 93rd Academy Awards, it became one of the few documentary films to ever sweep "The Big Four" critics awards (LA, NBR, NY, NSFC). It is now considered to be among the best films of the 2020s and of the 21st century.
