This film addresses the impact of domestic violence on children. Research shows those impacts can last a lifetime. Children exposed to violence in the home often experience psychosomatic illnesses, depression and suicidal tendencies. Later in life, these children are at greater risk for substance abuse, teen pregnancy, and criminal behavior than those raised in homes without violence.
