Trivia
While the cast list says that Sandra Day O'Connor is the chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, she never held that position. However the movie is correct in showing her as the presiding justice at the oral argument where just seven justices were present. Chief Justice Rehnquist was absent due to illness. Associate justice Stevens was also absent due to a travel delay. However both those justices did participate in the final 5-4 decision.

Goofs
While Susette's house number is correctly shown as 8, as in 8 East Street where the little pink house was located, there are numbers on other houses that are four digits. New London is only six square miles and has no streets with houses with four digit numbers, especially in the Fort Trumbull neighborhood which is made up of several short streets.

Quotes
Charlotte Wells: Yes, once we take care of the blight in the area, we can finally make this city hip! it's very... it's very exciting.
Susette Kelo: Is that... this is my house.
Charlotte Wells: Where?
Susette Kelo: It's right there. it's right... in the blight.

eminent domain gone wrong

Story of susette kelo, paramedic, who fights to keep her house, in new london connecticut. The governor and a local businessswoman want to redevelop part of the town. Near a sewage plant. They'll need to take land by eminent domain, but the homeowners don't want to sell. Get ready for a fight! Jeanne tripplehorn is charlotte, who represents the development group. They aren't using eminent domain to put up a public building... they are using the land to build a pharmaceutical plant. Charlotte is still trying to sweet talk the owners when the dirty tricks start, to get the stubborn owners out of their homes. Off to court! Directed by courtney balaker. Based on the book by jeff benedict. Good stuff! Good summary of what actually happened to everyone and the land itself, after ten years.
