to the film, everything has to be credible. To ensure we kept it as real as
possible, we purchased the actual footage. The film covers various crucial
events from world history. I had to buy these videos from different agencies.
They were bought in bits and pieces through the years," Mehta said in a

It is woven around some of the most bloody terror attacks, including the 9/11
attack and the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl.
