Trivia:
Nanawatai (Pashto: "sanctuary") is a tenet of the Pashtunwali code of the Pashtun people. It allows a beleaguered person to enter the house of any other person and make a request of him which cannot be refused, even at the cost of the host's own life or fortune. See more »
Goofs:
When Paul Gross's patrol arrives at the safe house to meet with the Ghost for the first time, the first Afghan National Army (ANA) jeep has a .50 cal machine gun on the roof, but it's obvious that it wasn't attached as it's on its side and the actor tries to right it at one point. See more »

Well done to Paul Gross and the cast of Hyena Road for creating an
authentic Canadian war movie. Being a Canadian Army officer, I had to
go see this one in the theater. It was an opportune time as I was able
to go with my son, a 2nd year economics student home on his Fall break.
The movie was entertaining, emotional and educational. Hyena Road
weaves the perspectives of war fighters into an telling story of the
character of the Canadian experience in Kandahar Province. It keeps you
engaged throughout with a mix of action, soldiering and the very human
dimension to conflict.
"Inside the wire, we think about what to do outside the wire. We get it
wrong fifty percent of the time which means we get it right the other
fifty percent of the time" and " We have to remember that the end state
is not for children to fly kites" were themes that stuck with us as we
drove away from the theater.
