Trauma is such an individual thing, so I can’t speak to what anyone else would be like going through this, but we crafted what this would be like for Chloe.” Run, which is not a true story but has similarities to real-life cases, is now on Netflix (Photo: Jenny Kane/AP) What is a similar real life case? I read a lot of stories that were similar to Chloe’s and heard stories of the people around them and how they changed. She told online publication Decider: “I had a lot of conversations with Aneesh about trauma and did a lot of research. Kiera Allen, the actress who plays Chloe, said she read stories of similar real-life cases when researching her role for the film. The film explores the impact of trauma and abuse on people’s lives. Her sense of reality is unstable.The movie Run is not in itself a true story, but there are real-life cases that may have provided inspiration for the movie. That makes her look over the whole set of experiences that she’s had until then and realize she doesn’t really know what happened. And in that scene, Rod is the person who opens that up for her, because he has these very specific memories of her, and photographs to prove that they were real, and yet she doesn’t have them. The arrest has shaken her, yes, but she still doesn’t quite understand. She thinks she figured out her mother’s lie, and figured out a way to get out and have her happy ending. Up until that point in the show, the Gypsy that we’re depicting thinks she knows what’s going on.

He was very regretful about what had happened, and we took those elements from the real-life case and said to ourselves, “What does this meeting represent for Gypsy?” She didn’t know so much of her own history, and it was hidden from her by her mother because it was a way of exercising control. DEAN Yeah, and in the real-life case it didn’t go down exactly the way that we depicted it, although he did come to visit.
