    • Trivia
      First screened as part of the lottery west film festival in Perth, Australia. The setting was an open air theater in Somerville UWA with a near full capacity which is quite remarkable as there are not too many places in the world which can host large crowds due to the pandemic.

      Actually the Gewehr 98 Sniper used in the film is 100% correct. The bolts on standard Gewehrs were straight but on rifles selected to be converted into sniper's the bolt was turned down to avoid hitting or coming too close to the scope. This is NOT a K98. Notice also the roller coaster sights. This weapon is 100% correct.

    Down (under) and dirty
    There are certain things that will either be enticing to the viewer or annoying to boring. In this case we are talking about a more or less simple story, with clear "bad guys", but also a lot of shading when it comes to the good people (and some of whom we'd call bad). So while we have some cliche and paper thin morals at certain moments, they do not feel fake.

    Quite the opposite it feels as real as possible, especially the people who play the natives, who also have different layers to them and different reactions to the invasion and provocation. This really is gritty and therefor not to everyones taste - it does what it says though and in a very engaging way! Not just decent, but really good!
