The original airing was seen by just over 12 million Americans, and received positive reviews, and was praised for showing a more human side to Bauer. Two versions of the film were released to DVD, the original broadcast version and an extended directors cut. The majority of Redemption was filmed on location outside Cape Town, South Africa since it was difficult to mimic an authentic African scenery in America. Redemption was somewhat inspired by the Rwandan Genocide in 1994.
