A film set in Angola, West Africa was interrupted by the police who began shooting at the actors carrying guns. The director of the film tried to stop the shooting by telling the police that they were making a film. When the Police realised what was happening they fled the scene and left the wounded actors in the street.

I'd be interested to know if reality did a u-turn and the surviving actors chased the police down the street in an utterly confusing concoction of reality and fiction.

I wonder if the director decides to use the footage?

    • This sort of thing happens more than you'd think. Well, the police mistaking films for crimes in progress happens more than you'd think. The police speeding up in pick-up trucks, jumping out and blindly gunning down crowds thankfully doesn't.
