• Vera Farmiga was originally considered for the role of Lynn, but she turned it down due to pregnancy. Ultimately, the role went to Michelle Monaghan.
• The photographs that Sam shows the banker when trying to get a loan are real photographs taken by Sam Childers in Sudan. They are also shown during the end credits.
• The film is based on true events.
• The town of Noblesville, mentioned in the film during the discussion about roofing work, is a real town located outside of Indianapolis, not in Pennsylvania. The film's screenwriter, Jason Keller, is originally from Indianapolis.
• In one of Sam's final trips to Sudan shown in the film, his wife, daughter, and friend see him off at the airport security checkpoint. For security reasons following the September 11 terrorist attacks, this is no longer permitted.
