People sometimes hurt other people and try to control them. This is an ugly reality. Perhaps it is ugliest when abusive behavior occurs at home, or within close relationships. When a husband, father, other relative, or a boyfriend attacks someone emotionally, physically or sexually, the victim may feel alone and helpless.
Domestic violence is no small problem.
It injures more women than car accidents, muggings, and rapes, combined. The program shows that victims may be Deaf or hearing, rich or poor, married or unmarried, highly educated or not. Also demonstrated is that not all abusers drink or show violence outside the relationship. The video program is presented fully in American Sign Language. All of the actors and the narrator use sign to communicate.
