About TIME II: Unfinished Business
Fox Rich is a fighter, entrepreneur, abolitionist, and mother of six boys. She spent over two decades campaigning for her husband Rob G. Rich’s release, who was serving a 60-year sentence for a bank robbery they committed in a moment of desperation. “TIME II” marks Fox’s directorial debut, combining years of video diaries with present-day footage post-Rob’s release.
Rob Rich, inspired by the American Dream, attempted a bank robbery to salvage their business, leading to a harsh 61-year prison sentence. Thanks to his legal acumen and Fox’s advocacy, Rob was released in 2018. Post-release, he earned a B.A. from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, became a published author, and played a crucial role in passing groundbreaking legislation in Louisiana.
