Krusen said that the idea for making a film in South Africa first came to him in 1988 during the filming of Ropa Nueva para Felipe in Mexico. He made numerous trips to South Africa during the 1990s to observe firsthand race relations in the country and seek material for a story that would demonstrate radical transformation from hatred to love between former enemies.

gollark: No. Stone IS to be cool.
gollark: 107 mods? Wondrous. But does it have COOL STONE TYPES?
gollark: We don't need it much, RFTools has teleporters, they are just arguably less cool and cannot interface with CC.
gollark: Oh, I see, I assumed it was "stargate" something.
gollark: Just as anticipated.
