Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA Washington Post article titled "Budgets for 'prestige' films dried up. So Ava DuVernay found a new way." was released on 12/4/23; it details how DuVernay financed the film partly through grants, including from the Ford Foundation, which enabled her to make a bigger film.
- GoofsThe previous entry stated there was an anachronism with the plumber wearing a red MAGA hat at least 3 years before the first hat was ever made. This is incorrect, because the scene takes place after Isabel's mother had passed away, which was in December 2016. The red MAGA hat was a popular merchandise item during Donald Trump's campaign for U.S. president in which the election took place in November 2016.
- Quotes
Isabel Wilkerson: And yes, not one of us was around when this house was built.
Isabel Wilkerson: But here we are. The current occupants of a property with stress cracks built into the foundation, and a roof that must be replaced.
Isabel Wilkerson: We are the heirs to whatever is right or wrong with it. We didn't erect the uneven pillars. But they are ours to deal with now.
Isabel Wilkerson: The cracks won't fix themselves. Any more deterioration is on our watch.
