Deliverance – The Art of Ben Jones, produced, directed, and edited by Jane Steuerwald and Louis Libitz, is a documentary video which accompanies the major retrospective of the work of visual artist Ben Jones at the Jersey City Museum, 2008 through 2009, featuring a complete survey of the artist's work, dating from the mid-1970’s through his most recent paintings.

Deliverance explores various aspects of Jones’ body of work, and delves further into his close relationship to religions of the African diaspora, travel, family, teaching, politics and spirituality. Deliverance was made possible by a lead grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional funding provided by The Joan Mitchell Foundation, Inc., the Lucius and Eva Eastman Fund, The Puffin Foundation, Ltd., and other generous individual donors. The program was selected by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as part of the American Masterpieces Series in New Jersey, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts.
