A short film about domestic violence

A short film about domestic violence by Lighthouse Women's Aid, a charity supporting women and children affected by domestic abuse in Suffolk, UK



"MONSTERS" -- sheds light on the effects of domestic violence in the home, through the innocent eyes of a child. 

Studies suggest that up to 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence each year. 

As the video notes, girls who witness abuse are more likely to be abused later in life, and boys are twice as likely to abuse their own partners -- "because that's the world they know."

To end this devastating cycle of violence, we must motivate silent bystanders to take action. People need to understand that when they look the other way, they condone this deplorable behavior. We believe that this provocative video will help us accomplish this life-saving goal..
