Gillian Anderson has said that Sony ditched a deal to distribute “The Salt Path,” in which she starred alongside Jason Isaacs, after a scandal broke last summer over alleged fabrications in the supposedly true story.

Based on a memoir of the same name by Ray and Moth Winn, the book and film tell the story of a down-on-their-luck couple who walk the south coast of England after their home is repossessed and Moth is diagnosed with a terminal illness, emerging stronger and with a newfound sense of purpose.
