00:06up with.
00:07You know, when you're a kid and you see it, you just want to be one of the kids in

00:26Well, to play the role of Fonteen, I made a lot of physical transformations.
00:30I cut my hair, I lost a load of weight.

00:37and I did a lot of research into the lives of sex slaves, which are just unspeakably harrowing.
