Inspiration for the Film
Perry was motivated to create “Divorce in the Black” by observing the high divorce rates and hearing stories from friends going through marital struggles. He wanted to tell the story of a woman who finds her strength after losing it in her marriage.

New Hobby: Building Model Airplanes
