LET'S TALK ABOUT IT: Domestic Violence

Xiomara Fuentes, Amandeep Kaur, and Nneka - three wives beaten and humiliated by their husbands - are the subjects of this program, which gives a voice and a face to a spreading epidemic of spousal abuse. This program puts video cameras into the hands of these women's children who then interview their mothers about why they endured - and how they survived - such physical and emotional injury. The questions they ask, framed with a poignant blend of candor and naiveté, leave no room for equivocation. A compelling and purposeful call to action produced by acclaimed filmmaker Deepa Mehta, "Let's Talk About It" is a journey into the secret and dangerous world of domestic violence, no more powerfully illustrated than through the eyes of children.
