My frustration was not with the location of the shoot but rather the actors they chose to play Somali characters. Even in Kenya where the actors they casted are from we have lots of Somali actors. They could have picked them. I don't see how your argument of cost holds any water.

I had high hopes for this movie, but I'm truly disappointed. As a Somali myself, I expected to see at least one Somali actor, but there were none to be found. Somalis have distinct physical features that differentiate us from other Africans, with the closest resemblance being Ethiopians. Unfortunately, none of the actors resembled Somalis in any way. It's perplexing that they opted for Kenyan actors, considering the abundance of Somali actors available, both in Kenya and just across the border in Somalia. Even Hollywood's film "Captain Phillips" managed to assemble a strong cast of Somali actors, which could have been an option for this movie as well.
