THIS HITS HOME

THE TRAUMATIC IMPACT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

We’re long overdue for a serious national conversation.

 

One in four American women will be knocked out, beaten or victimized by severe violence from a partner in their lifetime. Many of these women will be left with an invisible illness that will remain long after the abuse ends and the bruises fade away. This Hits Home reveals the shocking relationship that lies at the intersection of traumatic brain injury and domestic violence. A groundbreaking documentary by Scotia Entertainment brings together fearless survivors, grassroots workers acting to end domestic violence and leading neurologists to give a voice to an epidemic that has been largely silent.
