Adapted from the Turkish series "Suskunlar."
The story has a lot of comparison with the movie 'Sleepers' starring Brad Pitt. Sleepers was not based on a true story.
The 2012 Turkish counterpart, Suskunlar, is based on a true story from the "Pozanti Prison" newspaper article.
Suskunlar is based on the true story of children (Ali Avci, Metin Subasi and Levent Hamurcu) who were sentenced in absentia to nine years in prison on the charge of stealing baklava dessert in Gaziantep, 1997.
Filmed in Houston, TX.
