In 2011, Latoya Ammons, her three children and her mother moved into a home in Gary, Indiana. What followed beggars the imagination, but is well-documented by health, government and city officials. The family was possessed by demonic forces. Lee Daniels, never one to shy away from bold material, cast The Deliverance carefully, with respected actors who would help audiences understand what was happening. What She Said’ Anne Brodie spoke with Daniels and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor as the preacher / exorcist who undertakes to cast the demons out.
