Inspired by the true story of an African American teenager who shook up a small town where high school proms had been racially segregated for decades. Amid the protests of the community and with the help of a newspaper reporter who returns to her hometown to cover the story, the two women are able to reverse decades of racist tradition and make history, at least for one night.
For One Night is based on events that occurred in Taylor County, Georgia in 2002. It was filmed in the summer of 2005 in Jefferson, Louisiana shortly before Hurricane Katrina.
The end of the movie (prom scene) features Raven-Symoné's song "Gravity".[1]
