What is Lovely Jackson (2022) about?

LOVELY JACKSON is exonerated prisoner Rickey Jackson's daring first-hand account of the psychology of survival and spiritual fortitude required to withstand 39 years of wrongful incarceration for a murder he didn't commit. At the time of his release in 2014, Rickey was the longest wrongfully incarcerated person in U.S. history--spending 39 years on death row and in Ohio's most dangerous prisons after being convicted solely on the coerced eye-witness testimony of a 12-year-old neighborhood paper boy. Lovely Jackson sees Rickey return to the prison where he was sent in 1976 on his way to the electric chair where he narrates and stars in reenactments alongside professional actors (one playing his younger self), and the (then) 12-year-old paper boy, now in his late 50's. Lovely Jackson is a boldly cinematic, epic journey that begins in tragedy, hopelessness, injustice, and death, but ends in hope, beauty, and new life.
