“Holding Up the Sky is a powerful film about courage, hope, and humanity. Nesson has built such a deep trust and friendship with Ed Jordan that Ed is able to passionately share his story – and bring hope for those behind and beyond bars. Bob’s gifted talent as a filmmaker and storyteller is always focused on making the world around us more equitable and safe. His films have the power to move the audience toward action.”

“The film is powerful and important…. The characters and their stories just grabbed your heart in an honest way. I’m so moved by this story — I’m certain it will have a considerable impact.”

“The film is very powerful. A special thanks to Ed for telling your story and raising up your experiences and how we really need to reform the system… This is what the Criminal Justice Reform Caucus is all about: raising up the lives of returning citizens and formerly incarcerated people and advocating for change.”
