@ Perry. He's at Bradford Uni. He did have most of the needed arabic speaking actors, including a girl for the main female Iraqi role, but some have dropped out due to their own extensive uni commitments and the girl backed out when she realised it was a computer game. Shame. She'd read the script having misunderstood the purpose of the project; absolutely loved the script (she's from Iraq)then discovered it wasnt a short film as she'd mistakenly believed but a game and she couldn't bring herself to do it. The fact that it's a game made it too trivial for her, I think. That's fair enough, this stuff is likely to be very raw for her.

The game is not offensive. At least, I don't think it is. It doesn't demonize, nor does it excuse. It explores issues around insurgency and occupation.

If you have arabic speaking friends who might be interested, that'd be amazing.

Also still looking for at least one more American male voice
