While talking to USA Today, Gyllenhaal talked about Bauman's experience saying:

"I can’t begin to think about the pain that he has been through. In fact, I have thought about it a lot. I’ve tried to. But I don’t know if I would have been able to survive. I don’t know if I have the strength that he has. And that’s a question that I ask myself every day with this film."

The film also stars Academy Award nominee Miranda Richardson and is set to be released on September 22nd.
