The baseline story about the lawsuit would have been fascinating - pointing out the systemic racism regarding higher prices in poor neighborhoods and lack of compensation for deals with black organizations, and big companies stalling and ignoring contract agreements with small companies would have provided a great movie, the fact that no one could be bothered to understand Mississippi enough to accurately describe it's geography illustrates to me the continued biases that the entire state of MS is some backwoods place not deserving of accurate portrayal. Reminded me of the time after Hurricane Katrina when a news anchor referred to MS as "the land mass between Mobile and New Orleans!" Shame on the folks who wrote and produced this. Pay attention when you depict a place. Hinds County is not a "backwoods" county. It is home to Jackson - the state capital. And you go "up" to Jackson from Biloxi, not "down". Yes - the devil is in the details - and these are just a few of the details that were wrong and wasted the talent who acted in this production.
