About the film

*Special Livestream Event on June 16th! Early Bird Pricing Available Until June 7th*

Redemption Time is a 70-minute performance film featuring poet Jimmy Santiago Baca and jazz violinist Christian Howes––two formerly incarcerated artists who reclaimed their lives through art. While imprisoned, Howes discovered Baca's poetry, igniting a creative lifeline that would sustain them both. Through spoken word, jazz, and intimate testimony, the film reveals the trauma of incarceration and art's redemptive power. Directed by David Gonzalez, Redemption Time is an emotional journey and a call to reimagine justice, identity, and human potential.
