SUMMARY: Now is the perfect time for people to understand the story of fighting against the criminal justice system because it shows that achieving freedom and justice is possible, even for the ordinary person. This documentary highlights that incarceration is an American problem, affecting diverse communities and perpetuating excessive sentences for minor crimes. After 21 years of imprisonment, the speaker feels a duty to advocate for others in similar situations. Premiering at Essence Festival, a significant black cultural event, underscores the importance of this message. The aim is to inspire others to value their freedom and to continue the conversation about incarceration until real change occurs.

This gripping documentary witnesses the return of Sibil Fox and Robert Richardson, the love-bound protagonists of the Oscar-nominated documentary, TIME, (2020).

TIME II: UNFINISHED BUSINESS plunges us into the aftermath of Rob's release from Angola after 21 grueling years and their ongoing fight for their unjustly imprisoned nephew, Ontario. Fueled by newfound freedom, Fox and Rob confront the brutal realities that come with their unwavering commitment to liberate their nephew and honor a sacred promise made over two decades ago. #unfinishedbusiness #timeII #essencefestival #filmfestival

SUMMARY: Good evening, I'm Craig Ford. Emily Leonard has the evening off. Thanks for joining us for WTV 9 News at 6. A woman in Monroe County encountered an unexpected visitor during her morning commute. Jennifer Adams found a large snake hitching a ride on her car on Smithville Road near Hatley. Initially mistaking it for a man on a horse, Adams was horrified to realize it was a snake emerging from under her hood. She believes the snake was trying to reach a bird's nest using her SUV for height leverage. The snake, likely a nonvenomous rat snake, eventually fell off her car. Reporting live, Jake White, WTV 9 News.
