In the movie's trailer, snippets from the actual Beirut blast are reportedly interwoven. The revelation of this integration originated from a Reddit user, eventually catching the attention of the acclaimed YouTube channel Corridor Crew, as they delved into the world of visual effects in their episode "VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 111."

 

The haunting memory of the devastating Beirut Port explosion, etched in history on August 4, 2020, continues to cast a profound shadow over Lebanon and its capital. 

The explosion, which claimed the lives of over 200 individuals, left approximately 7,000 wounded and forced more than 300,000 people to flee their homes.

However, even if three years have passed since the explosion, the Lebanese people and the victims' families still search for the truth and demand justice for the human and material losses it costs.
