Family violence is a scourge in our society. While it has become much more well known in the community, due to some horrific examples of extreme violence perpetrated particularly on women and children, it is not as well understood to be a universal problem. There are still many people – women, men and Gender Fluid – who suffer in silence, who believe they are alone and cannot get help.

Family violence can happen to anyone. All you have to do is love the wrong person. Once you open your heart and trust your loved one, you are in their hands. If they choose to abuse or misuse that trust, you may find yourself subject to intimidation, gaslighting, financial, emotional, physical and sexual violence.

It is rare that individuals have the courage or platform to speak up about their experiences. This film will stand up for some of society’s most vulnerable people and will help them take action.
