Peck reconstitutes the book dealing with the issue of race in the United States and brings to the screen the words used by Baldwin interested in the recurring racial problem in the United States, scene of riots in recent years because of blacks killed without real justification by the forces of order. The voice of Samuel Jackson is used in the original version of the film and that of Joey Starr for the French version (dubbed).
