On the script side, they give credit to three book authors, Rachel West Nelson and Cheyenne Webb, whose true life story is brought here, obviously, and Frank Sikora, who was the reporter for the Birmingham News that co-authored the book with them.

And the screenplay was from Cynthia Whitcomb, who is a prolific writer who had sold more than 70 screenplays in her career.

Her two most well-received, though, are both from Disney Studios, Selma, Lord Selma, and the 1991 Disney Channel movie Mark Twain and Me.

She also wrote and was Emmy-nominated for I Know My Name is Stephen, a film about, which I've seen, strangely enough, which is a film about a kidnapping victim named Stephen Stainer who escaped his captor alongside a five-year-old, and he'd be brought to safety.

Small detail here about Stephen.

His brother, Carrie, would later go on and become a serial killer.

Ooh.

Not in the movie, though, but it's true.

Each week, we're bringing you true crime through a legal lens.

And we're not just lawyers, we're also husband and wife.

It makes for some pretty entertaining episodes.

This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called The Red Weather.

In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune.

And back then, I lied to my parents.

I've decided to go back to my hometown in Northern California, interview my friends, family, talk to police, journalists, whomever I can, to try to find out what actually happened.

Boom, boom.

Listen to The Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

So let's get into this one.

It's a rare Disney movie that covers something really, really important.

This is Selma, Lord Selma.
