Trivia
During the M23 rebel attack on Goma in January 2025, the real life boxing coach Balezi Bagunda aka "Kibimango" (played by Hakeem Kae-Kazim in the film) was killed while helping the film's director Matthew Leutwyler evacuate children from an orphanage that had come under siege. The story was covered on CNN and BBC International.
