[Videolib] Domestic Violence Documentaries
Diva Communications has a really unique film about this subject. I BELIEVE YOU: Faiths' Response to Intimate Partner Violence (58 minutes) examines intimate partner violence and the reaction of clergy who often abuse or misinterpret scripture to blame the victim. This extraordinary interfaith documentary explores the stories of survivors of abuse and the response of faith groups to address their needs. From prevention programs such as Healthy Relationships held at Camp Herzl in Wisconsin to healing programs at Mayyim Hayyim in Massachusetts, faith groups are exploring ways to support, advocate for and help aid the healing of those who have been harmed by abuse. Nominated for two Emmys (Best Religious Programming and Best Editing). You can find more about I BELIEVE YOU, and watch the trailer HERE Andrea Andrea Janes Diva Communications, Inc.

Power and Control: Domestic violence in America Plus companion DVDs: "Domestic Violence and Law Enforcement: It Started in Duluth" "Domestic Violence and Health Care: Best Practices in Action" Dist: New Day Films More info and a lot of interview clips on the website: http://www.powerandcontrolfilm.com/ "Power and Control: Domestic Violence in America" explores the shocking persistence of violence against women in the US. Kim, a Duluth, MN mother of three, is at the center of the story. As Kim and her fragile daughters take up residence in a shelter, we follow the harrowing struggles in a single-parenting survivor's quest to find work, housing and peace of mind. The multi-level narrative also examines the deepest causes of domestic violence and the solutions that have evolved to stop it, celebrating the battered women's movement activists who started the domestic violence revolution 30 years ago, and examining alternative approaches now being advocated. The film is is particularly recommended for courses in sociology, social work, women's studies, political science, psychology, law enforcement and law. It's a must-have for public library collections and is being used with great effectiveness by public and non profit organizations. DVD extras include director's cut interviews with Kim and her husband, and with Ellen Pence and Michael Paymar, co-founders of the "Duluth Model."

Re: [Videolib] domestic violence documentaries
Hi Here's a Women Make Movies title that looks at women in prison who lobby on behalf of abused women: Sin by Silence From behind prison walls, the film reveals the lives of extraordinary women who advocated for a future free from domestic violence. Inside California's oldest women's prison, the first inmate-initiated and led group in the U.S. prison system was created by inmate Brenda Clubine to help abused women speak out and realize they are not alone. Over the past two decades, the women of CWAA, Convicted Women Against Abuse, have changed laws for battered women and raised awareness for those on the outside. The documentary tells the personal and shocking stories of these courageous women who have learned from their past, are changing their future, and most importantly, are teaching us how domestic violence affects each and every person. Directed & produced by Olivia Klaus. Special features (ca. 2 hrs.): "Violence and abuse" discussion clips (40 min.) -- "CWAA Meetings" clips (11 min.) -- "Batterer's perspective" featurette (14 min.)-- Law enforcement and corrections" discussion clips (22 min.) -- "Legal aspects" discussion clips (24 min.) -- "Faith-based" discussion clips (15 min.) -- "Brenda Clubine" clips (12 min.). c2009. 49 min. and another on sort of the same topic (available as home video) 'Til Death Do Us Part Takes the viewer on a journey with incarcerated battered women, as they relate their stories from first falling in love, through the abuse by their spouses, the murder, trial, parole process, and finally, for one woman, freedom. It is thought in our society that a woman can leave an abusive relationship at any time. However, the women in this film prove the contrary. They were under the age of 24, isolated from their families and had virtuallly no money. They all reached a point where there was a final beating in which the survival instinct prevailed. In these final moments, they snapped and killed. Produced and directed by Vita Lusty. Special features: Director's film notes ; short film "Cops to courts: saving our women" ; short film "Bybee" ; live performance video of Faith Nolan. c2008. 92 min. > size=2>I am looking for documentary films on domestic violence, > particularly any with a legal or criminal justice angle (not > psychology, diagnosis or healing or social work or training videos). > "Crime After Crime" recently released by Roco Ed is a geat example which > we intend to use.

Re: [Videolib] domestic violence documentaries
Hi Matthew, Two semi-recent titles we’ve reviewed favorably are: May/June 2011 (Volume 26, Issue 3) Sin by Silence (2009) 49 min. DVD: $159: public libraries; $325: colleges & universities. Women Make Movies. PPR. Closed captioned. In her stirring documentary, Olivia Klaus profiles Convicted Women Against Abuse, a U.S. prison support group made up of offenders serving time for killing their abusive partners. Brenda Clubine, a former inmate at the California Institution for Women, founded CWAA in 1989, and the group has since played a major role in raising awareness of battered women and influencing legislation affecting their fate. Glenda Crosley entered the facility when she was 44 and found solace in the group when she discovered that “It didn’t just happen to me. It happened to many women, in different ways.” Klaus looks specifically at Crosley’s case, since her attorney was unable to make abuse a significant part of the defense. As the filmmaker notes, a condition called “battered women’s syndrome” didn’t come into play until 1992 (largely due to CWAA’s efforts). Several other victims also recount their stories, while valuable insights are provided by Dr. Elizabeth Leonard, who conducted a study to determine what led the women to commit homicide. Among other observations, Leonard notes that “just leaving” is never as simple as outsiders think, since abuse often escalates when victims attempt to flee; also, psychological mistreatment is hard to prove. Anaheim Police Chief John Welter expresses particular concern for the children from these environments, and Klaus solicits additional input from jurors, attorneys, sheriffs, and forensic psychologists. DVD extras include extended interviews and discussion. Offering a powerful look at a controversial topic, this is highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (K. Fennessy) and August 19, 2008 (Web Review) ‘Til Death Do Us Part (2008) 92 min. DVD: $19.98. Pathfinder Home Entertainment (avail. from most distributors). Vita Lusty’s documentary ‘Til Death Do Us Part serves as a kind of after-the-fact defense for 13 California women—victims of domestic abuse convicted for murdering their spouses and sentenced to life in prison—who weren’t able to explain the circumstances behind their actions before sentencing (and in fact many were forcibly sedated during their trial), because “battered woman syndrome” was not admissible in a court of law prior to 1992.Although each story is different (when Ellen tried to leave after 17 years, her husband threatened to kill their two daughters; Caroline miscarried twins after a vicious beating), all share a similar arc, from falling in love, to enduring multiple beatings before striking back in self-defense, to the legal aftermath. In addition, Lusty speaks with author Elizabeth Leonard (Convicted Survivors), Judge Elliot Daum, and Stephen Green, a representative for former Governor Gray Davis, and concludes with a call-to-action profile of the Habeas Project, a nonprofit group working toward providing these convicts with a second chance at a fair trial (the deadline is 2010, which means some will have already spent 20 years behind bars). Although this low-budget documentary carries a warning about poor audio conditions, the dialogue is comprehensible, with the possible exception of a parole hearing. DVD extras include text-only director’s notes and subject updates, two of Lusty’s student shorts, and performance footage of soundtrack artist Faith Nolan. Highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (K.
