 The movie was really filmed at Glenn Mills, the juvenile detention  facility featured. Some of the actors, such as Fouad Mourigh,  Farhane El Hamchaoui and Steve Hooi were real juvenile delinquents.  They were cast as part of a program to get juvenile delinquents back  on the right path through work, in this case acting. Several of them  also appeared in Theo van Goghs _06/05 (2004)_ (qv) and have since  pursued an acting career.
