According to director Richard Tanne, all of the main events of the film did actually occur on the Obama's first date with the exception of the community meeting which happened at a later date.
The movie was filmed in fifteen days.
In the scene outside the movie theater screening Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing (1989), Mr. Goodman asks Michelle Robinson [later Michelle Obama] and Barack Obama if they think Mookie did the right thing in the climactic scene. In the DVD commentary, Spike Lee said he has only been asked this question by white viewers, and that viewers who question the riot's justification are implicitly failing to see the difference between property and the life of a black man.
The film was the official selection of the Sundance Film Festival in 2016.
Barack Obama (Parker Sawyers) is seen smoking a cigarette in this movie. At Michelle Obama's suggestion, he quit smoking before his campaign to win the Democratic nomination began.
