I noticed that one of the user reviews for this film had a problem believing it was realistic enough. That this was a Suzan-Lori Parks script really says it all. She's a pulitzer prize winning playwright, the first African-American woman to win, whose plays are very often based on historical archival material. Something I've noticed from works of all kinds, books, films, plays, etc..., that include archival material and historical events and characters is that often the most bizarre and surreal things in the work come from the true story. A specific reference regarding Suzan-Lori Parks is her play Venus.
