From there, Maggie works hard to rebuild her relationship with Paul, but her continued military duties threaten to break them apart forever when the possibility of another deployment comes up.

I had the chance to speak with both Monaghan and Livingston at the recent Fort Bliss press day, which was held at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles, California. We discussed the training that Michelle did for the role, the challenges of raising a child under tough circumstances, Oakes’ fantastic performance, and much more.

Check it out in the video interview above and be sure to catch Fort Bliss when it hits theatres on September 19th.
