[on the challenges of shooting Harriet - Der Weg in die Freiheit (2019)] Well, you know, it's a hugely physical movie and most of it is outside so you're dealing with both the elements, the weather. We're in the mud, it's rainy, it's cold. We're shooting from September through to December. So it was freezing and we're outdoors and I'm doing a lot of physical work, I did every stunt but maybe one. And you know when you're, when the windchill is like minus something and having to climb up the side of a cliff, you got to figure it out. And if you're walking in water and it's thirty-seven degrees at midnight, the water feels much colder. But you have to figure that out. You're working against the clock and against the elements and every time we get rained out, we have to figure that out again. You also have the emotional journey that she goes on. It is tough and you have to be strong enough to do that.
