"The Trouble I See"
Directed by Patrick Gregory and the Austin-based Sally O’Grady, The Trouble I See focuses on the struggles faced by two Virginia men attempting to move on with their lives after serving time in jail. The documentary follows Rashaan and Joey as they cycle through the Richmond City Jail’s Belief Tier, a program focused on addiction recovery and reentry into society, and then reunite with their families upon their release. Gregory and O’Grady concern themselves not just with Rashaan and Joey’s efforts to reintegrate into society but how the problems they must overcome impact their loving and concerned families. They also examine how both men each try to reestablish their relationship with their young daughters, beginning with a Father-Daughter dance held at the Richmond City Jail held before their release. The Trouble I See will screen at 7 p.m. Jan. 14 at the AFS Cinema with Sally O’Grady, Patrick Gregory, and five documentary subjects in attendance. The Trouble I See is also available for digital and on-demand viewing. Austin-based Sally O’Grady previously directed the short documentaries Constance and He Used to Be a Major and produced the short documentary Good Blood. She also served as an associate producer of the MSNBC documentary The McVeigh Tapes: Confessions of an American Terrorist. Patrick Gregory is a commercial filmmaker and cinematographer based in Richmond, Va.
