Cleveland ABC presents:
Defending Our Lives
a movie by survivors of domestic violence
Denison Ave. UCC - 9900 Denison Ave.

The movie Defending Our Lives is a collection of interviews with women
who have survived abusive relationships.
The women talk about the experiences they endured --
violence, death threats, stalking, as well as unhelpful interactions
with the police. The movie was put together by a group which is
working for amnesty for women who, in self-defense, killed the men who
were abusing them; many of the women in the movie are in prison. So
the documentary also discusses the response of the legal system to
women in this situation -- who have tried to defend themselves when
their lives were in peril.

The movie will be followed by a brief discussion, to air feelings that
are brought up by the film. We also draw connections
between the situations the women discuss in the documentary, and the
