'Game of Thrones is a truly massive production', interview with actor Andrei Claude

The intention of this film, which is based on a book written by Mitchell Zuckoff, was to tell a story of bravery. On September 11, 2012 the US embassy in Benghazi, Libya was under attack and the security team present was outnumbered. A call for help was made to a CIA compound situated just a mile away, where former Navy Seals were stationed and working as private contractors. In spite of the fact that these former Navy SEALs were ordered by their chief to wait they deliberately left the compound and went to the embassy to offer their help, risking their life in an attempt to save others. Sadly by the time the former Navy SEALs arrived, ambassador Christopher Stevens had died of smoke inhalation.
