Trivia The movie is inspired by true events; the director's goal was not total accuracy. As quoted in an interview on Netflix.com, director Mandla Dube said: "We don't have a character who has albinism in the real story and the three guys that were in the bank were all males, and I took the liberty to just say, "I want to make one of them female," because I had worked with Noxolo Dlamini on the Netflix series Jiva! Then, obviously, we didn't use the real character names. Once that happened, I said to myself, "Let's have fun. We're not doing a documentary. We're doing a thriller," and all the gloves were off, and we just went to battle to find these characters and to build them and to mold them and shape them into what you see as a final product on the screen" See more »
Goofs The bank where the siege occurred is in the Pretoria East suburb of Silverton, however the action depicted in the film is shown to take place in and around the historic Church Square in the same city. This is a location far removed from where the event happened. See more »
