Direction

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in 1994, barely five years after Operation Just Cause, making it one of the first artistic responses to the invasion from Latin American cinema.
Leduc deliberately obscured the US soldiers visually to mirror how Panamanian media was censored during the actual occupation.
