Actress Lena Headey hopes her new film The Flood will further the understanding of the immigration crisis around the world and spread a bit of compassion. In the film Headey plays Wendy, a British immigration officer deciding the fate of an asylum seeker.

"What I hope, personally, is we change 10 minds, or people reconsider how they feel about someone who has lost everything. Or maybe it will grow a bit more compassion, understanding, curiosity or bravery," Headey told variety.com.
