Voices of Jericho: Stories of Jail Diverson (runtime 12:57)
This short documentary tells the story of three individuals who are clients of Shelby County’s Jericho Project, an innovative jail diversion program for people with serious mental illness.
True Story Pictures is currently raising funds to expand this projectinto a feature-length documentary called Voices of Jericho: Stories of Recovery. Our crew will document four individuals over the course of a 10-month period, introducing them when they are booked into jail and following them as they navigate their way out of the system, into mental health treatment, and hopefully towards recovery.
So far, we have secured $50,000. Our goal is to reach $200,000. Please help us reach our goal by providing a donation today.

The Arts Interviews: A Short Compilation (runtime 4:38) This
piece highlights artists who are featured in the multi-disc series The
Arts Interviews. Like the longer compilation and the individual life
story videos, this short film traces the lives of these artists from
their early childhood to their careers in art, providing insight to the
creative process and what it is like to live the life of an artist.
True
Story Pictures has made a commitment to document the lives and creative
work of at least three older, regional artists each year. These
interviews preserve the artists’ perspectives on their own work, their
personal experiences, and a valuable history of the arts and the
greater Memphis area. This program is sustained with financial support
from sales of the DVDs and donations from individuals like you.
Please consider a donation to support our work with older artists.
