Trivia
Lead actor Hameis El-Sheikh, himself a refugee from Darfur, named his own character. Having provided a list of suitable names to writer/director Daniel H. Jacobson, they decided on Musa Issa Musa, a local warlord that Hameis remembered from Sudan. Given the dark and satirical nature of the film, it was the intention of El-Sheikh to mock the warlord with his decision. Ironically, the name translates to "Moses Jesus Moses" in English.
