Gender Violence and Abuse
This collection of independent films examines the many facets of gender violence, giving voice to survivors and illuminating the social, psychological, and cultural forces that perpetuate abuse. While the series addresses a range of topics—including date rape and the complexities of family trauma—it places particular emphasis on domestic violence through works such as “To Love, Honor and Obey” and “Suzanne, Suzanne.” These films offer deeply personal accounts of women confronting physical and psychological abuse within their homes, revealing both the pain endured and the strength required to break cycles of violence. Together, the collection offers a nuanced and urgent exploration of gender-based violence, encouraging reflection and dialogue.
