Production
De Antonio had previously worked with Daniel Berrigan on his film In the Year of the Pig. The Berrigans asked de Antonio to film the trial for their actions in King of Prussia, which de Antonio initially refused because he did not share their religious beliefs. However, he changed his mind and agreed shortly before the trial. Martin Sheen had been a friend of de Antonio's since the controversy surrounding de Antonio's previous film, Underground. Sheen offered to help with de Antonio's new project and accepted the role of Judge Samuel Salus II.[4]
For this film, de Antonio shot and edited the footage on video, then converted to 35mm film.
Exhibition
In the King of Prussia premiered in New York City on February 13, 1983. The film played at the Berlin International Film Festival that year.
The film was released on VHS in 1983 by MPI Home Video.[5]
