A compelling call for justice, STOLEN TIME follows charismatic elder rights lawyer Melissa Miller as she takes on the corporate for-profit nursing-home industry — an industry notorious for its lack of transparency and accountability. As the legal battle unfolds, families, frontline caregivers and change-makers chronicle an urgent crisis with ramifications — and inspiration — for us all. 

Video Librarian | Reviewed by Kristen Lopez
"A documentary like this has a goal to aim awareness and compel viewers to spark change by taking an interest, and that is accomplished here."

Film Threat | Reviewed by Kent Hill
"Stolen Time feels less like a film and more akin to a cry for justice. A warning shot across the bow of corporate callousness. If you’re not outraged by what you see here, you should be."

Film Inquiry | Reviewed by Clement Tyler Obropta
"Some people simply demand to be the center of a documentary, and Miller is one of those great subjects — someone so dedicated to her work and so relentlessly busy that, when an hour in you find out she has a painting hobby, your mind is blown at how she possibly finds the time."
