"There were so many obstacles in our way! Every week, I was told we were about to be shut down, but we persevered and "Behind Bruised" is a tribute to that struggle and to those who stood in 100% support of me, my struggle and the process," the actress continued.

"I had been training to play this character for two and a half years, and I really had acquired — I still have it and I don't know if I'll always have this - the mindset of a fighter, and a fighter's mindset is you never stop," Halle said of her decision to use a stunt double rather than to halt filming while she healed.
