Trivia
The film, shooting of which was completed in 2018, was held up for original release in 2019 when one of the producers, Bernard Garret Jr. (son of the main character depicted in the film) whose name has been removed from the credits, was accused of sexual misconduct.

Goofs
In the exterior shots of the prison, just before Joe and Eunice pick up Bernhard, compact remote cameras, razor wire, and one-way glass on the watch-tower, are all visible. No prison in 1968 had such high-tech equipment, which would only become the norm in the late 80s and 90s.

Quotes
Joe Morris: That's what I like about you. You are a good person. Ain't been corrupted by the world yet. Like a child. But, that's gonna change when you get rich.

Crazy credits
On the ending credits, pictures of the real life characters are shown aside the actors/actresses that were depicting them in the movie, plus original pictures related to the story.

Excellent!

I love seeing this type of genre pop up. We so desperately need to show our children this kind of American History. Where we were only 50 years ago, and how far we have come. The acting and storytelling was super enjoyable and one for the whole family to watch and discuss.
