Short description
Ellis French is a young, gay Black man, rejected by his mother and with few options for his future, decides to join the Marines, doing whatever it takes to succeed in a system that would cast him aside. But even as he battles deep-seated prejudice and the grueling routines of basic training, he finds unexpected camaraderie, strength, and support in this new community, giving him a hard-earned sense of belonging that will shape his identity and forever change his life.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the true story of Elegance Bratton, who was kicked out of his mother's house for being gay and spent ten years on the streets. When Bratton joined the Marine Corps, he needed to retrieve his birth certificate from his mother, as depicted in the film. Shortly after the film received approval, the woman passed away. Gabrielle Union wears some of her jewelry and uses the family Bible in the film.
- The film was shot in 19 days in Mississippi during a heatwave exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
