Docu 'Time' about life in prison - set to music by 96-year-old nun

Garrett Bradley's documentary 'Time' tells the story of Sibil Fox Richardson and her 20-year battle to bring home her husband Rob, who was sentenced to 60 years in prison for attempted robbery of a credit union. The docu is set to the music of Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, Ethiopian nun and piano player, because, as Bradley says in Pitchfork interview, "it’s got this incredible blending of melodies that is reminiscent of New Orleans. There’s also a fluidity, repetition, and singularity in its range. There is quite a bit of nuance from one track to the next, but overall, you can float through the whole thing. I wanted the film to feel like a river, and not like a collage".
