Considering the amount of total lockdown we've been in since 2020, a house arrest for 7 months isn't that bad at all. 😁

Im from Albania and a really similar thing has actually happen with the selling of weapons to countries which were at war.Mos of them were illegal sellings.Actually there used to come a cargo plane to come and collect weapons in the airport using an old tunnel made during the communist era.This plane used to come everynight after the last passanger flight and it stoped comming after the “Gerdec” weapon dismentlment facility exploded. Soo all in all the idea of this movie is true.

@@bilalweldon8789 basically after the government opened it's military depots in 1997 for the population in order to protect themselves during some crisis of violent revolts because of pyramid scenes, everyone could get free ammo , free guns , rpgs , like literally everything from the military depots, there were even people with tanks in the roads ,robbing banks , gold vaults everything literally. I wish i was an adult back then , everyone could have made millions of $ if they were clever on using the opportunity. The movie is set after 97 i think but the gun delers of course got support from the high officials, so they could earn their part too . Fucking cool!

"Iraq", not "Afghani". They tossed bid to supply pistols to the new Iraqi defense forces, especially the newly rebuilt Iraqi Police but it's the bullet that they sold that got them into trouble which was what the "Afghan Deal" was all about. It's about ammo, not guns. Also, it DID happen. Both did go to Albania, bought up all the ammo they can lay their hands on despite knowing the Chinese weapons embargo the US had since Tiananmen and resold it after repackaging it to the US and sent it towards Afghanistan. Also, fun fact: The actress that acted as Iz, Ana de Armas, was a Cuban who can't speak a lick of English when she got the role and she learnt everything prior to even being in the show. She practiced English for 6 months consistently and became pretty flawless when it comes to English when the movie started production.
