Actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste joins Morning Joe to discuss her role in Mike Leigh's new film 'Hard Truths,' where she plays the deeply unhappy and angry character Pansy. 'Hard Truths' marks the first time Jean-Baptiste and Leigh have worked together since the 1996 film 'Secrets and Lies'.

She reteams with her "Secret and Lies" director, Mike Leigh, for this brutally funny drama about a British woman consumed with anger.

It is almost 30 years since Jean-Baptiste and Leigh collaborated on a film—the cult 1996 comedy drama Secrets & Lies, which would see her become the first Black British actress nominated for an Oscar.
