H.E.L.P. is proud to invite you to a screening of Lovely Jackson at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival on Friday October 7th at 5:15pm. H.E.L.P. funded and executive produced this documentary about America’s longest wrongfully held exonerated prisoner, Rickey Jackson. In the film, he returns to the prison where his 39-year journey of survival began and guides his younger self from death row to freedom. A true story about the triumph of hope, forgiveness, and perseverance through the darkest and most hopeless of circumstances that begins in violence and ends with love. 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.
Rickey Jackson’s story of hope and perseverance aligns strongly with the mission and vision of H.E.L.P. The mission of H.E.L.P. is to provide Hope, Education, Love, and Protection to people facing seemingly insurmountable circumstances by way of human injustices and challenges. H.E.L.P. believes it is every human’s birthright to receive this support and is committed, without boundaries, to doing what is right to help. H.E.L.P.’s vision is to create a world in which anyone in any crisis can find the help they need.
