Lovely Jackson

Long-winded but worthy.

The experiences of one man and his message of resilience, forgiveness, and strength in the face of an imaginable burden proves to everyone that no one is lost, even in a world that seems to forget about them

It’s not “okay” because Rickey is now okay. This is grotesque. This is horror. This is the worst of which humanity is capable. The film is, perhaps, a bit too lovely. It is, perhaps, a bit too taken by the notion of forgiveness. But it is absolutely vital

It not only shines a light on a tragic failure in the U.S. criminal justice system but also offers a beacon of hope. Rickey Jackson tells his story of being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for murder in this artfully directed and riveting documentary.

Many films are built up to be about hope and perseverance but fall short. this doc does not.

The exercise therefore exists somewhere between your conventional true crime drama dissecting facts via interview and the heightened, visceral approach of Robert Greene's Procession.

A Cleveland man’s extraordinary and inspiring story of unwavering hope and resolve
