Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Anthony's mother Gee Walker co-produced and insisted the film focus on his life, not his death—making this rare victim-centered true crime.
The Merseybeat soundtrack isn't nostalgia; Anthony was an aspiring DJ, and the music represents the career stolen from him.
