Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Morocco with actual aid workers as consultants; several cast members attended conflict zone training and found it 'more disturbing than the script.'
Based loosely on 2004 Falluja events, though von Naso deliberately obscured dates to suggest cyclical, endless repetition. The film was nearly banned in Germany for 'anti-war propaganda'—which, same.
