Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in just 10 days in East Sussex on a shoestring budget; the military camp was a real local training exercise the production stumbled upon and incorporated.
Released during peak Brexit anxiety, the film's unease with 'outsiders' and institutional silence accidentally mirrored real British paranoia about borders and authority.
