The 36-year-old Kerry Washington who played the lady trapped in slavery, in the film Django Unchained, reveals that the role effected her emotionally and psychological.

Though she was drained seeing all the violence and hearing the N-word every single day, she says it was worth telling that story.

Also starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leonardo Dicaprio, the film received several awards including five nominations from the Golden Globe Awards, including Best Director and Best Screenplay for Tarantino. The Film won Best Original Screenplay, written by Tarantino.
