Oscar and Emmy winner Helen Hunt joins a cast of British, Polish and German stars in the ambitious new war drama World On Fire, which recreates World War II through the eyes of five ordinary people living through it.
The 56-year-old American actress says her character is partly based on the real female journalist who landed what has been called the "scoop of the century".
