FOR THE TIME BEING
In the organizer's words:
Michelle married her childhood friend Jermaine in the sterile visiting room of a maximum security prison - in the hope of soon being able to live with him in freedom. Jermaine claims to have been wrongly convicted of murder. He is serving a 22-year sentence in the notorious Sing Sing prison near New York. For years, Michelle fights tirelessly to prove his innocence, while at the same time looking after her teenage children Paul and Kaylea as a single mother. In a grueling routine of short phone calls, letter writing and visits to the prison, she dreams of an idyllic family life outside the prison walls. Just before Paul and Kaylea leave for their own lives, a new piece of evidence is discovered in Jermaine's case, reviving their hopes for his imminent release.
Made over the course of almost a decade, the documentary paints an intimate portrait of female resilience in the midst of the ailing US justice system.
