It was directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan and written by Upchurch and Jon Huffman, based on Upchurch's 1996 autobiography Convicted in the Womb. Omar Epps stars as Upchurch, with Dana Delany, Bentley Mitchum, and Charles S. Dutton co-starring. The film aired on Showtime on September 29, 2002. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
