Thanks, Seb. I haven't read the book Black Hawk Down. Are you aware of any specific inaccuracies in the film? I'm aiming to focus here on actual inaccuracies that have political implications. Like in "Captain Phillips" when Muse is played by a tall 28 year old who speaks good English, when in reality he was anything between 15-19, 5'2 and spoke no English. And the way in which the crews' statements contradict Cpt Phillips story ( http://nypost.com/2013/10/13/crew-members-deny-captain-phillips-heroism/ ).
