Almost immediately after filming ended, one of the stars was suddenly struck by a deadly, undiagnosed illness. The star (afaq/Fofo) is currently disabled and struggling to recover because of this.
The activists and cast of the music video "Solidarité" had no idea that the project would become a major film, and that they would become stars because of it.
The stars are so busy with their activism work that filming had to take place over a long period of time, in several different cities, and for only a few days at a time.
