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.

''IT'' affects one in three women worldwide and leaves them mentally scarred for life. ''IT'' is inflicted by a family member. ''IT'' is violence against women and girls. First aired on BBC World TV, this critically acclaimed series presented by Annie Lennox and shot by all-women crews is a brutally honest account of a silent war of violence against females, being waged around the world. The seven films, in WOMEN ON THE FRONTLINE, tell the personal stories of courageous women who have survived abuses and want their voices to be heard. Facts: * At least one in three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime, according to a study based on 50 surveys around the world *A fifth of women report being sexually abused before the age of 15 *500,000 women die from pregnancy and childbirth each year: a number that has changed little in 20 years *Violence against women kills more women than traffic accidents and malaria combined, according to World Bank estimates *The World Health Organization has reported that up to 70 percent of female murder victims are killed by their male partners *The prevalence of women in developing countries who experience violence during pregnancy ranges from 4 to 20%, according to the European Journal of Public Health *In 48 population-based surveys from around the world commissioned by the World Health Organization, 10 to 69% of women reported being physically assaulted by an intimate male partner at some point in their lives TITLES AVAILABLE: 1. NEPAL: A NARROW ESCAPE 2. TURKEY: KILLING IN THE NAME OF HONOR 3. MOROCCO: NEVER AGAIN 4. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO: FIND A WORD FOR IT 5. AUSTRIA: SHOWING THE RED CARD 6.

"Crime After Crime" recently released by Roco Ed is a geat example which we intend to use. I am wondering about other films in a similar vein. We already have: Domestic Violence (2 part title from Zipporah) Breaking the Cycle of Domestic Violence The Healing Years Battered Hearts Battered Women (films for humanities) Behind Closed Doors Defending Our Lives A Love that Kills Terror at Home These will be viewed in class as part of a seminar on the topic. I am trying to find more titles to purchase for the prof to view over the summer before settling on the chosen titles for the syllabus in the fall. No movies or fiction films are wanted.
