The Sundance Channel show “Rectify” asks if someone convicted of a heinous crime can once again contribute to society. So does its new awards season campaign, which features art by a killer serving multiple life sentences and a serial sex abuser serving a 105 years.
The critically acclaimed drama, about a man freed from death row after two decades, is using art by several current and former inmates in its attempt to win Golden Globes and other awards. The campaign includes showing inmates’ work in an online exhibit, “The Rectify Project: Visions From Inside.” The inmates’ subjects include waves, a cherub, and “24” actress Elisha Cuthbert.
