This is Valentino Dixon's second appearance on Off Script - this time it was in person!  We spoke to him shortly after his 2019 release from prison where he spent 27 years for a crime he did not commit. During his time in prison art was his sanctuary, he began drawing beautiful pencil creations including the picturesque golf courses in Dubai, which is why our paths crossed in the first place. It was a pleasure to finally meet Valentino in person, he was able to overcome a wrongful conviction with grace, class and determination, while producing beautiful artwork.

His book The Soul Of An Unfreed Man: Drawing my way to Freedom. 27 Years of False Imprisonment at the notorious Attica Prison, was released earlier this year.
