I work in the field of domestic violence, and what I have seen, over the course of time is that many domestic violence survivors do not connect the early trauma in their lives with their present situation. In addition to policies that address the trauma and its longterm consequences in the live of people, it is also important to educate people, especially survivors of trauma, such as domestic violence, about the ways in which exposure to early trauma can and oftentimes shapes the trajectory of an individual's life. While I think that films can provide the space and time to educate others, we must, especially when working with survivors of domestic violence, make sure they are sufficiently healed or removed from the domestic violence situation when considering the appropriate time to offer a viewing of such films. That being said, I do believe that every advocate, who works with survivors, should watch these documentaries.
