When Canadian director Louise Archambault shot her Holocaust drama Irena’s Vow — about a young woman’s heroism in hiding Polish Jews from Nazi occupiers – she faced present-day obstacles during production in Poland.
Archambault witnessed a makeshift refugee camp filled with Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s invasion of their country next to her hotel in Warsaw, and had to navigate a security cordon as U.S. President Joe Biden stayed in that same hotel in March 2022.
“I just wanted to go into my hotel room and I couldn’t get through because of so much security,” Archambault recalled after returning to her hotel after a morning of scouting new locations for Irena’s Vow, only to encounter vigilant Secret Service agents as she waved her room key card.
And visiting Warsaw’s main train station, which at the time was a major pit stop for millions of Ukrainian refugees, brought home the horrors of the Russian invasion.

By winning the TV academy’s favor last year as the star of “Euphoria,” 26-year-old Zendaya, who had previously been lauded for the same drama series in 2020, set a new record as the all-time youngest recipient of multiple lead acting Emmys. Her historic turn in the episode “Stand Still Like the Hummingbird” added up to a whopping 41 minutes of screen time, which accounted for 76% of the mid-season installment. Now that she is once again out of the running, six other actresses with comparatively lower screen time totals are gunning for the gold.
