Kpriss, you may know what I don’t understand is that the abused woman/man or whoever very often go back to the abuser, because they love him/her etc.
Something in the human brain isn’t explainable. We always think that we are humans and not animals, but the behaviour of some of us, is worser then of some animals. Look to what happend in Binghamton, it’s really disgusting what we sometimes do to each other, if it is physical or verbal violence. It’s all the same when you use violence it hurts someone.

That was a very well done concise and poignant PSA.
With Keira Knightly doing this and what has recently happened to Rhianna this will surely leave a lasting impression on people.
Domestic violence happens to women, children, men, the young, the old, and the infirm.
I don’t know if it can or ever will stop but what I do hope is that the monsters (people) who inflict it are soundly punished and that the victims are helped so that they can heal emotionally and physically.

That was hard to watch……I’m afraid domestic violence shall not go away, ever….I
It doesn’t attach only women. Children, think about the children and even eldery….
Human”kind”…..?

Kudos to everyone who does make time, effort or whatever they do to make people aware and help the abused……and punish the abusers!!!

It’s a visceral advert and the way it’s been directed, so it peaks toward the end. Even when the camera backs away, leaving a set, the scene dominates. I think it’s one of the best community service adverts I have seen on domestic violence. The majority that I have seen, tend to focus on the bruises, not how they actually get there, and seeing the simulation.
