All Of It with Alison Stewart | Feb 6, 2025

A new documentary, "Paint Me A Road Out Of Here" tells the story of a group effort to transfer a Faith Ringgold painting from Rikers to a museum. The film features interviews with Ringgold, who died last year at the age of 93. Director Catherine Gund and formerly incarcerated artist Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter, one of the leaders of the effort, discuss the documentary, premiering tomorrow at Film Forum.
