In an interview with Deadline writer and director Jeff Nichols explains how the film came together and that he didn’t want to glamorize gang culture.
“I’ve been thinking about this for 20 years,” he says, after reading Lyons book in 2003 “These are not people we want to idolize, but that doesn’t mean they’re not attractive.”
