Filming locations
Also per German Wikipedia's Produktion section
German Wikipedia’s Produktion section names 1 more place. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Mauritania, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
