Leipzig-Premiere FOR THE TIME BEING, mit Q&A im Anschluss
In the organizer's words:
Film screening with director Nele Dehnenkamp, Seehaus e.V., an employee of Bautzen Prison, and the head of the Saxony State Working Group on Family-oriented Prison Design
Michelle married her childhood friend Jermaine in the sterile visiting room of a high-security prison - in the hope of soon being able to live with him in freedom. Jermaine was wrongly convicted of murder and is to remain locked up for a 22-year sentence in the notorious Sing Sing prison near New York. For years, Michelle fights tirelessly to prove his innocence. At the same time, as a single mother, she has to look after her teenage children Paul and Kaylea. 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 "For the Time Being" paints an intimate portrait of female resilience in the midst of the ailing US justice system.
