WOMEN IN FILM: PRIVATE VIOLENCE

Gloria Steinem

Private Violence documentary was a recommendation from Gloria Steinem's social media page.

Here are some quotes from Gloria Steinem regarding the documentary that I found interesting:

“When I was growing up in Toledo, there was no such crime as domestic violence,” said Steinem. “It was called life.”

“It’s very important that we understand how justified, concealed [and] rationalized this deepest form of violence truly is,”

“We have the power of noticing, of seeing, of supporting, of protecting.”

Private Violence was directed and produced by Cynthia Hill. It is a documentary that focuses on domestic violence. A hardship can also be groundbreaking and inspiring.
