Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during the Trump administration, this Lifetime prestige project was surprisingly aggressive for the network — Beresford of 'Driving Miss Daisy' fame directing Black women leading a political thriller.
LeeAnne Walters, played by Betsy Brandt, was a real Flint resident who exposed the scandal by getting EPA emails through FOIA requests — her actual town hall footage appears in the film's closing montage.
