Private Violence

“Just by being truthful and honest with its subjects, this film feels like a call to action. Listen to it.” (Film Threat)

Through the eyes of two survivors—Deanna Walters, a brutally beaten mother who seeks justice, and Kit Gruelle, an advocate—we bear witness to the complexities of intimate partner violence. These women’s experiences challenge entrenched assump- tions and provide a window into a world that’s been hidden by our silence, laws, and lack of understanding. Cynthia HIll. 2014. 80 m. NR. USA.
