Taraji P. Henson's Four-Day Shoot

Taraji P. Henson, who plays Janiyah Wiltkinson in the movie, shot her scenes in just four days. The actress was also working on her Peacock limited series, "Fight Night," at the time, and the production teams worked out her schedule to accommodate both projects.

Real-Life Locations in Atlanta

The movie takes place over one day, and Janiyah's journey takes her to multiple locations in Atlanta, where intense scenes unfold. Here are the real-life locations featured in the movie:

• Janiyah's Apartment

  

  The apartment complex is located in the Old Fourth Ward in Atlanta, according to a TikTok video showing the real-life location.

• Woodrow Wilson Elementary School

  

  In reality, the school is the KIPP Vision Primary School in Atlanta, according to a video on social media.

• Benevolent Bank and Trust

  

  The exterior of the bank was filmed on Lakewood Avenue in the Lakewood Heights neighborhood in Atlanta, according to a Facebook post from a local resident.

• The Grocery Store

  

  The grocery store where Janiyah works is White's Super Saver Foods on Campbellton Road South West in Atlanta, as seen in a TikTok clip of the spot.

Tyler Perry told Tudum that Janiyah is a woman "just trying to survive, trying to be a great mother to her daughter, and then the circumstances in life put her in this situation." He added that many people around the world will be able to relate to that feeling of being at their "last straw."
