TV Movie Filmed Locally Premieres Friday
Anika Noni Rose, David Alan Grier, and LaTanya Richardson Jackson star in the film.
The television movie shot in Stone Mountain earlier this year is scheduled to be shown on the Hallmark Channel this Friday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m.
The name of the movie is "The Watsons Go To Birmingham." Here is the synopsis from the Hallmark website: in the Summer of 1963, Flint, Michigan is home to the Watsons, a close knit family made up of Daniel and Wilona Watson, (Wood Harris and Anika Noni Rose) and their three kids, 15-year-old juvenile delinquent Byron (Harrison Knight), nerdy 11-year-old Kenny (Bryce Clyde Jenkins) and eight-year-old adorable sister Joetta (Skai Jackson).
When Byron’s antics go over the top, his parents realize enough is enough and they decide the family needs a dose of Grandma Sands' (LaTanya Richardson Jackson) no nonsense approach in Birmingham, Alabama.
