At the request of the teen’s mother, Gee, Jimmy McGovern’s film will offer up a brilliant imagining of what Walker’s young life might have been had he not died.
“The night of [Walker’s] death is the only factual stuff in that drama, but that is nailed-on factual. That’s word for word what happened.” Jimoh, who plays Walker, added: “Anthony’s story is a painfully tragic one but it’s also full of hope, joy, promise and love. Jimmy’s script captures that perfectly. I hope this film will serve as a tribute to Anthony and I feel truly honoured to have been asked to play him.”
