There are multiple sources stating that Director Scott Cooper read a New York Times article about Braddock mayor John Fetterman, which served as inspiration for the film's setting; see the Pittsburgh Business Times[1][2], Deadline, WPXI, and Cineblend. There have been continued assertions made by User:72.77.53.216 that Cooper's interest in setting the film in Braddock was due to revitalization efforts by artist Latoya Ruby Frazier. Although this artist is originally from the town of Braddock, I have seen no reliable source which indicates that she has anything to do with the setting of this film. These claims are unverifiable, a violation of Wikipedia's biography of living persons policy, and seem to be patently false information. WP:HOAXdissolvetalk17:56, 30 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

This film is rich in American History, alluding to "susbstance" problems and "collections violence" that goes back to 1791-1794 in the earliest Post Revolutionary years of the United States, focused on the Alleghany County.
