Netflix viewers are issuing their own trigger warnings for 'Luckiest Girl Alive,' after some watchers say they weren't prepared for the level of violence against the main character in the film.
"I always feel a little undeserving of being called brave or courageous, because I had to in fiction," Knoll said."There were these dueling things inside of me. I desperately craved the release of getting my story out on paper, and the validation of recognizing what had happened to me as rape. I needed that.
"A lot of that had to do with the fact that I didn’t want to make the actors feel uncomfortable," she said."I’m an executive producer and I wrote this thing and everyone knows that it’s inspired by my real life experience. I could tell people were nervous around me. I was like, ‘This is a job people need to do and I don’t want to make it any more uncomfortable than it needs to be.
“I still had the idea in my head that what happened to Ani wasn’t bad enough, because that’s what happened to me. I thought I had to make it worse,” she said.
