, accused of being a war criminal, and former general Ratko Mladić
, who was caught during the shooting of this film. Mladić is being held responsible for the mass murder of at least 6,000 unarmed Bosnian civilians in Screbrenica in July 1995. The story of the film is set in this historical background.
The filming mainly took place at authentic settings in Sarajevo and its surroundings. The former Bosnian commander and defender of Sarajevo, Misrad Catić, acted as advisor for military history and appeared in a guest role. Research assistants under the supervision of Dr. Kathryne Bomberger from ICMP (International Commission on Missing Persons) in Sarajevo gave the producers and actors advice concerning forensic anthropology and DNA identification of the victims found in the mass graves. The organisation "Wives of Screbrenica", regularly staging demonstrations to ensure that the search for lost men, children and relatives will continue, travelled to Sarajevo to play a part in one of the key scenes of the film.
