3 unusual facts about The Long Walk Home


The Long Walk Home

Set in Alabama, it is based on a screenplay about the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-1956) by John Cork and a short film by the same name, produced by students at the University of Southern California in 1988.

Early into production, cinematographer John Bailey was to have made his directorial debut on this film but was replaced by Richard Pearce.

One of the three GM "old-look" transit buses used in this film was the Montgomery Bus Lines bus #2857, which Rosa Parks had been riding when she refused to give up her seat and was arrested.
