Aunjanue Ellis joins host Robin Milling to talk about her role in The Subject. It's a pivotal film about a documentary filmmaker (Jason Biggs) whose subject is a black teenager mixed up in gang life, and the tragic consequences the film's aftermath have befallen his mother (Ellis).

Ellis discusses the subject matter's relevance to her personal interests, working opposite Biggs and literally leaving her mark in a slapping scene. A self-described late bloomer, Ellis talks about how she began her award-deserving acting journey, and her career strategy to get there.
