Production will have a sensitivity coordinator onsite to support talent through these difficult scenes. If you are in any way uncomfortable with performing in such scenes, please decline the job offer with our full support and understanding. Scenes being filmed in Macon may be particularly upsetting as they depict Selma’s historic voting rights protest and the violence which ensued.

(Please note that the “n-word” will NOT be used in these scenes per studio requirements, but other slurs may be used.)
