“My inspiration didn’t really come from a film. It came from real life. I was inspired by the lives of all the disenfranchised people who have had to struggle to be treated as equal. What moved me to tears was the notion, “Give me liberty or give me death.” Many people may not understand what that feels like. Truth be told, I have never been put in a situation where I fully understood what that felt like. But I have come close.” Terence Blanchard Focus Features
