The film was initially supposed to be shot in Jerusalem in April/May 2009. When the sponsor wanted to change the ending, to favor an Israeli perspective, the director refused and moved the production to Amman, Jordan. When the same thing happened in Amman with the new sponsors, i.e., they requested a change in the ending to favor a Palestinian perspective, the director decided to shoot his vision in Los Angeles. This proved extremely effective in telling an unbiased story - the one that the director intended to tell.

Yoni Sakal, the boy who played "Baram" in the film, broke his arm on the night before re-shooting pivotal scenes. Shot lists needed to be adapted to hide an arm in a sling, in very hot weather conditions.

Several institutions offered their "secret services" to the production of this film due to the film's political nature that some organizations thought of as "might ruin business".
