Ray Mendoza, in an interview with The Guardian, revealed the director duo's vision and approach to making the film. He stated:

"We interviewed as many of the guys as we could and took a detective-like approach to slotting everyone’s memories together. Forensic is a word we’ve been using a lot. We wanted to make a really honest film, so if it didn’t exist in someone’s memory, it did not go into the story. Memories were our bumpers."
