The Hour

Inspired by a personal story, this film was made in response to an industry that too often uses sexual abuse for shock value; centering on the violence instead of the voice of the survivor and their strength in moving forward. The chronicles of a woman’s first year of healing after leaving an abusive spouse. Guilt and shame slow her progress, and tensions rise as years of domestic violence come to the surface. But with the support of her therapist, women in her support group, and her family, she may be able to rediscover the strength in herself and ultimately choose to heal.
