Great movie. I took it as a lesson that while civil wars are going on all over the world, we don't give them much thought because they're always happening "over there." Staging the movie in America made it much easier to relate to what civil wars actually look like when they're happening around you.

Going off at a slight tangent, it reminded me a little of how the western actors' real regional accents are used for all the characters in "The Death of Stalin," instead of having them all do generic Russian accents. It's jarring at first, but ultimately made me feel as if I was not watching something taking place in a faraway foreign land, but rather, that "it could happen here."
