Description: Four women speak about "slashing",  a form of emotional release for them. Their scarred arms are seen, but not their faces. They challenge the socially accepted forms of self-multilation; one notes that chain smoking causes as much damage as cutting her arm with a razor.
Notes: With Persimmon Blackbridge, Sheila Gilhooly, Lyn Macdonald, Dee Dee Nihera.
