This is the first non-documentary, and the first American film, to be given permission to film in Mecca (or within the Haram Sharif). A second unit film crew was hired to film in Mecca because non-Muslims, such as director Spike Lee, were not allowed inside the city. Lee fought very hard to get filming in Mecca, but Warner Bros. initially refused to put up the money for location shooting; New Jersey was considered for filming the Mecca segments. In the end, Lee got the money and permission together for filming in Mecca.
