Two time Academy-award winner Hilary Swank talks with Tom Power about her new film What They Had, in which she plays a woman who helps her mother who's living with Alzheimer's. She talks about how the role paralleled her own experience caring for her father recovering from surgery, and what she makes about the conversations happening in Hollywood right now around gender and fair representation in light of her groundbreaking role in Boys Don't Cry.

What They Had is in theatres now.
