“A month ago I sustained a serious head injury that put me out of commission.
Showing little improvement, my doctors ordered me to shut off my brain in hopes of it healing.”
Thank you for all of your love and patience."

A rep for Black didn’t immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
At the premiere, “I was pinching myself quite a bit and literally going, ‘Is this happening?
Did we find a way to get a story like this to screen?
Did we find people courageous enough to participate?’
This wasn’t one that I did for the money, that’s for sure.
This is one I did for passion.
I did it because I believe it’s a necessary message right now.”
