Production
After hearing actress Emma Watson's speech for the HeforShe campaign and reviewing the 2014 historical film The Imitation Game, writer and producer Drew Gars (who supports Watson's campaign) was partially inspired to create a film about human rights. Emma Watson was in talks with Gars to be cast as the lead role, then later on, she was comfirmed for the role. Jennifer Lawrence also joined the cast to play the role of Millie's roommate and love interest, Sam Forester. Gwyneth Paltrow joined the cast, playing Emily Kendrew, the film's main antagonist.

In March, Ferris Bueller star, Matthew Broderick, who starred with Watson on the film, The Tale of Desperaux, joined the film as Jonathan Kendrew, Emily's husband. That same month, Bailee Madison, who is known for Jennifer Aniston's daughter in Just Go With It, joined the film as Janine.

In May, Bill Murray signed on to play Benjamin, Sam's father. In late May, Sally Field joined in to play Sarah Forester, Benjamin's wife and Sam's mother. In June, Ben Barnes joined the film as Sam's boyfriend.

Principal photography took 50 days, beginning on early September in Washington, D.C. and ending on late October in the University of Cambridge.
