Shortly after Jessica Stillman celebrated her ninth birthday in the mid-’90s, her father went to prison. She has spent much of her life after that just trying to get close to him.
Her story is at the center of “Invisible Bars,” a new documentary by Benicia filmmaker John Beck about the children of incarcerated parents.
The film follows Jessica behind bars for a rare sit-down interview with her father Fred Stillman, who served 23 years in Soledad state prison for second-degree murder after a bar fight in Lake County.
Jessica Stillman, now 32, lives in Santa Rosa and works as intervention manager for Verity Sonoma County’s rape crisis, trauma and healing center.
