UAADV Breaking the Silence

Breaking the Silence

Children's Stories

This powerful documentary chronicles the impact of domestic violence on children. From adult children of abuse to families re-victimized by the court systems to children experiencing the trauma today, the special offers moving and unforgettable profiles of those struggling to put their lives back together. The program also documents the disturbing frequency with which abusers are winning custody of their children in family court cases, and explores why this miscarriage of justice continues to occur. The documentary features interviews with New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, who dealt with domestic violence as a child and in 2003 started the Safe-at-Home Foundation to help educate people about the issue; and Walter Anderson, chairman and CEO of Parade magazine, who recounts the emotional and physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his alcoholic father.

URGENT!!!!!!!!!!

PBS has received more than 1,000 emails and hundreds of phone calls from father's rights groups. I believe the best way to counter whatever effect this will have (like convincing local stations to do local programming offering the "other" point of view) is to have as many people as possible email, write, phone the stations that have aired the program to thank them. It would be a very powerful way to answer the very nasty critics who are literally assaulting PBS and its' stations.

Best,

(Mr.) Dominique Lasseur
