    • Trivia
      First documentary directed by Daniel Anker.
    • Goofs
      It is stated at the beginning of this documentary that Eugene Williams was the youngest of the "Scottsboro Boys" at 13 years old. It also states that Roy White was 13 years old at the time. Contradictory, at the end of the documentary, It states that Roy White was the "youngest of the defendants" but the tombstone of Roy White shows his date of birth as October 27 1916 which would have made him 14, seven months shy of his 15th birthday at the time of the incident in March of 1931.
