Is the Redd zone a true story?
Yes, the film is based upon a true account. Dominic Redd was 15 years old at the time of his death. BET says that Redd was killed by a knife in a brutal attack committed by three Latinx teens who made derogatory remarks about him prior to the fatal fight. The Redd Zone will be dedicated to the late actor and to the community he left behind that was greatly affected by his death.
Tia Magee is a mother of the executive producer Brandon Magee who is a former NFL and MLB player. Redd was his closest friend.
