No, this movie is a work of fiction. Hollywood sometimes to forgets to mention that, except in small print. If you're ever wondering about truth v. fiction, try the internet. Search for the names involved.

I was watching it yesterday and thinking bloody sunday in Yemen with US marines instead of paras.
shareThe bit at the end explaining what happended to the characters is quite misleading, as it would have you believe they were real people. I thought the bit about Sokam being fired for withholding evidence was proof that in real life the bad guys don't always get away with it, but if it's just the story, then that's really cheesy.
"You know what you are? You're a beard with an idiot hanging off it."
I have used this movie's begining as a good example for people that don't know what things are like during riots in the Gaza strip, for example. Natch, the ending...
