- Date: 5th October 2016
- Summary: LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM (OCTOBER 4, 2016) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) ACTOR, DAVID OYELOWO, SAYING: "It was hard to get the film financed but films are hard to get financed anyway every time you make a movie you are basically asking someone to put millions of dollars into a startup that you are hoping will make money and is an artistic endeavour - it's crazy! But also with a film like this that has a black protagonist which there's been resistance to in the past, it's a period drama an interracial love store so you know so all power to Pathe who came on board and got it done."
