All of the actors in the cast are Palestinians.
Hind Rajab doesn't appear in the film, only the recording of her real phone call to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (Palestine's emergency service) is featured in it. Director Kaouther Ben Hania said she decided not to have an actress portraying Rajab out of respect. She also had the support of Rajab's mother to make the film.
