    Storyline

    Edit
    Portrait of Abuse: An American Epidemic is a compelling and revealing story that not only raises our social awareness of the far reaching effects and cycles of domestic violence, but it digs into the psyche of both victim and the abuser. We all play a role in recognizing the signs and speaking out to stop this tragic epidemic. Through interviews with actual victims and abusers, this hopeful film offers practical advice from survivors, doctors, nurses, shelter advocates, social workers and prosecutors. —Anonymous
