- TriviaDirector Gianfranco Rosi did his own cinematography again, but used for the first time an ARRI Amira camera, which he said allowed him to shoot in dark environments: "Sometimes it looked like we had an incredible amount of light.

Nigerian Refugee: This is my testimony... We could no longer stay in Nigeria. Many were dying. Most were bombed... We flee from Nigeria. We ran to the desert. We went Sahara Desert and many died...

They got lost to the sea. A boat was carrying 90 passengers. Only 30 were rescued, and the rest died. Today we are alive...
