The film was produced by the Woyee Film and Theatre Industry, formed by refugees returning to Juba from the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, where the NGO FilmAid International had taught them film-making skills.[1] On their return to Juba, the group of over fifty individuals made short films for United Nations agencies, rotating key roles amongst themselves and earning money to buy camera and editing equipment.[2] Since Juba's only cinema had been destroyed during the war, the film needed to be shown in a local cultureal centre. Over 500 people showed up to the first screening, with a larger number attending the second screening.[1]
