    • Trivia
      Based on a true story told in a popular twitter thread containing 148 tweets written by Detroit waitress A'Ziah "Zola" King in October 2015. The story quickly went viral, garnering the recognition of people such as Missy Elliott, Solange and Ava DuVernay. About a month later, Rolling Stone magazine published an article interviewing people involved in the story.
    • Goofs
      Zola has said that the scene with the rival pimp being shot never happened. She made it up to embellish her story and make it seem more interesting.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Zola: You wanna hear a story about how me and this bitch here fell out? It's kinda long, but it's full of suspense.

    Helluva Hoedown...
    The days of a pole dancer become increasingly unpredictable as pimps, hoods, punters and a new found pal distract and demand beyond reason. Outstanding performances bring to life a Twitter fuelled fable, great direction too.
