Books are an easy gift choice, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be fresh.

This image released by Amazon Studios shows Sibil Fox Richardson, left, and her husband Robert in a scene from "Time." Garrett Bradley’s acclaimed documentary about the Richardson family, “Time,” measures its passage through a father’s absence. Made with family video diaries shot by Fox of herself and their six children that span more than two decades, “Time” lends a powerfully intimate portrait of the toll of mass incarceration. The film, which Amazon will release in select theaters Friday and launch on Amazon Prime next week, is a lyrical, black-and-white montage that digs into the long-term ache of incarceration. “Love never left off,” says Fox, speaking by Zoom alongside Rob from New Orleans.
