The film is based on the Dhaka terror attack incident of 1st July, 2016 where five armed gunmen held up customers, mostly foreigners, at the Holey Artisan Bakery and left more than 20 people dead.
In a statement the director called the film “a miniature of international hate politics” and also “an anatomy of terror,” in which he “wanted to explore the roots of modern day terrorism through social, political, and gender implications.” The director added that he chose to shoot “Saturday Afternoon” in a single take to better focus on “the unity of the story.”
