    • Trivia
      In the late 90s, Andrew Heckler had actually gone to meet the real Reverend Kennedy in Laurens, South Carolina, after reading about the infamous Redneck Shop & KKK Museum in a newspaper article. After Heckler got the story from Reverend Kennedy, he began drafting the screenplay.
    • Quotes

      Mike Burden: [to Reverend Kennedy] Sir, if I call you my enemy, I'll walk through Heaven and I will punch God just to get to you. If I call you my friend, I'll walk through Hell and I'll slap the devil for you.

    Excellent
    I think this film has been undermarketed, and i am surprised i hadnt heard it until stumbling upon it online.

    Its well worth a watch. The fact it is based on a true story makes it even more compelling.

    Great choice of actors. Usher was a great choice.
