In this episode of AW Confidential, AW sits down with Danica Jones and Clyde Berning, stars of the action thriller Hunting Jessica Brok, for a conversation that goes far beyond the action.

At its core, the film explores the battle of shadow, the internal war between the person you are trying to become and the instincts you hoped you would never need again. As a former elite Black Ops soldier turned mother, Jessica is forced to confront the darker parts of herself when her daughter’s life is threatened.

Danica and Clyde open up about identity, loyalty, trauma, and the psychological cost of survival. What unfolds is not just a story about being hunted, but about what we are willing to become to protect the ones we love.

Hunting Jessica Brok is streaming on Prime Video.
