The fictional interceptors in the movie miss their target and we understand this is intended to be a compelling part of the drama intended for the entertainment of the audience, but results from real-world testing tell a vastly different story. The memo added that the US's missile interceptors have displayed a 100% accuracy rate in testing for more than a decade. Yet external agencies have disputed this claim.
Almost immediately, the Spanish director knew the film needed a labour scene. For all the women, giving birth had been a very traumatic event, she says. She heard stories about women in labour not being informed of procedures, or having their hearing partners removed from the room, depriving them of an interpreter as well as support. I left out some of the most difficult experiences. Her film gives us a frighteningly realistic birth scene.
