Trivia
In a Cage was based on actual events. Those actual events were what Screenwriter and Executive Producer, Candy J. Beard had witnessed as a teenager while living with her mother and stepfather in Albertville, Alabama, which is located in the Northern part of the state. Candy witnessed her stepfather beating her mother on a weekly basis, and many times had to call the Police for help. Some of the dialogue spoken from Melissa Chapman's character (Neighbor, Brandy) was based on total truth, from Candy's memory.

This could save lives in the right hands

I know the primary goal of any movie is to entertain. Like books, great movies allow you to escape reality -- even if only for a short time. Together, they are an award winning combination. But some movies are so much more than that. They inspire us or teach. Candy Beard's 'In A Cage' will do all of the above. One would be tempted to say it is a drama about domestic violence but that would really sell it short. Because a movie like this could be a life saver in the hands of a victim or witness. If you are neither, I hope it inspires you take up domestic violence. This is a raw, gritty and thought provoking ride from Dreams Come True Films builds from the easily dismissed rantings of a drunk meanness to brutal violence and torture while their well meaning neighbors struggle with butting out or jumping in.
