amid sexual abuse claims leveled against Bernard Garrett Jr.— the son of the subject of the drama— the filmmakers behind the movie have released a statement defending the movie.
"We set out to tell a story we were very passionate about, recounting the remarkable lives of Bernard Garrett Sr and Joe Morris, and their ground-breaking achievements combating racial inequality in the 1950s and 60s," reads the statement, which was signed by director and writer George Nolfi, as well as stars and producers Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson, in addition to the cast and crew behind the movie.
It continues: "Though we have no way of knowing what may have transpired between Mr. Garrett’s children in the 1970s, including the allegations of abuse we have recently been made aware of, our hearts go out to anyone who has suffered.
