| | | Bank robbers have long been romanticised in Western culture, but few have been able to tell their own story with as much self awareness as Stephen Reid. This absorbing documentary is about an extraordinary man, a notorious member of the "Stopwatch Gang," who once lived out the crazy, frantic life of the outlaw bandit. Now sentenced for eighteen years to a prison cell, Reid has a lot of time to reflect on the journey that brought him to this moment. Inside Time is a cogent expression of being acutely conscious of the here and now. Reid is, in effect, "doing time," but the experience of imprisonment has forced an intense awareness of the preciousness of life. Instead of raging against or fighting time, whether through heroin addiction or robbing banks, he is now compelled to contemplate the present.
Award-winning filmmaker Jason Young has harnessed music and image to shape an artful visual essay on the experience of time through the life of this legendary bank robber. Reid's story is gracefully set against vivid images that speak to the different rhythms of his experience. Indeed, viewers will find themselves drawn deeply into this film, willingly losing their sense of time.

Through no fault of his own, Patrick was disconnected from his family, his childhood and his Native American culture and left with few resources to cope with the pain and powerlessness. |
