Seeing domestic violence on screen, regardless of whether domestic violence is depicted in a film for dramatic or educational purposes, can have a deep and lasting impact on viewers, and survivors in particular. That’s why it’s important to create content that can help break stigmas, center survivor voices, and ensure the safety and wellbeing of those involved on and off set. We are proud to support victims, survivors and their loved ones directly with our 24/7 services and provide training, guidance and resources to those looking to learn more about domestic violence, raise awareness, and strengthen access to life-saving support.
