Behind the Rage

Synopsis

In the United States, most female homicide victims are killed by their current or former partner and one in 4 women experience domestic violence or abuse. In Behind the Rage: Inside America’s Domestic Violence, Peabody, BAFTA, and Emmy award-winning filmmaker Deeyah Khan asks a simple question: is it possible to reduce these endemic levels of male violence? In search of an answer, she hears heartfelt testimonies from survivors and victims’ families, and gets vital insights from social workers and psychologists who work with violent men. And she speaks to those whose voices are rarely heard in conversations about domestic violence yet who may hold the key to stopping it: the perpetrators themselves.
