With her new film Women Talking having been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, Jaime talked with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sarah Polley about the process behind its making and what she hopes most for audiences to take away from the film. The film, based on Miriam Toews's novel of the same name, tells a story inspired by the real-life tragedy within the Manitoba Colony, a Mennonite colony in Bolivia, in which many women and young girls were sexually assaulted. For writing the film, Polley received her second Academy Award nomination (and first win) for Best Adapted Screenplay.
