In Those Who Wish Me Dead she plays a wildland firefighter, Hannah, who helps a 12-year-old boy flee assassins.

But the mum of six, 45, said: “We all have times in our lives where we just feel broken.

“I came into this not feeling strong and not knowing if I had it in me to pull through this.

“I carry my own trauma, my own grief, at different things that have happened in my life.

“Can I pull myself through?

“Am I strong enough? Am I stable enough?”

But she said she found making the film cathartic and it was important that her children saw her as strong and a survivor.
