Behind Closed Doors
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2019 | Lawrence Arts Center
Shot over 12 months, and starting from the moment a 999 call is received, the film follows three brave women who each waive their right to anonymity to show how insidious and terrifying domestic abuse can be.
With an unfolding, present tense narrative, the film also exposes the lack of consistency in terms of the length of sentence given to offenders. When the Police repeatedly take one perpetrator to court only to have magistrates release him again and again, the film demonstrates how the huge ordeal of going to court for these victims of domestic abuse does not mean that, in their eyes, justice will automatically follow.
Speak Out, Sing Out
SATURDAY OCT 26, 2019 | Lawrence Arts Center
