Journey Through Our Film Shoot
Set Photos by Jon Gunnar Gylfason
Day 25 - “He Got Cooked”
In these scenes Crystal and some of her and George’s friends see that George’s abuser is now in prison.
Also shot this day was the part of the flashbacks where Cockeye Johnson whipped young George and Doc. Listen to the podcast HERE to hear why that is the once scene that the real men who lived this cannot watch.
Go through photos the next day 26 or skip down to choose any day.
Journey through more of our days of filming:
George fought in all the Friday Night Fights in prison and knocked out all the boxers, including “Memphis.”
Andy Doc Dixon had a prison band on the inside. He was allowed to travel and perform the same as his best friend, boxer George Lee Martin was allowed to travel for Friday Night Fights.
See the day of filming when George The Hammer Martin turned down the 1984 Olympics as well as the administration during the 1985 riots.
Scenes from the 1985 riots that happened out on the yard. As well as George and Crystal being transferred to different prisons.
