The series was produced by SMAC Films owned by Deion Sanders and NFL Films and had its premiere in Atlanta. Ken Rodgers and Eric Powers were the directors of the segment.

The voiceover for the segment is provided by Atlanta artist Ludacris and longtime Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz also makes an appearance.

A review by 'Awful Announcing' gives the documentary a low 60s score out of 100 and calls it a step down from Ken Rodger's previous 30 for 30 pieces.

It was described as not too intriguing since film evidence of the 24 hours isn't readily available throughout the documentary.
