Thanks to everyone who joined the premiere of the film 'Ending Abuse' (produced/written by myself and animated/directed by Shane Nelson of www.omni-fusion.com).

Professor Evan Stark terms domestic abuse of this kind, which has only recently been legally defined, ‘a form of domestic terrorism’.

The archived version of the live premiere & following talk is now available here. We discussed how the 1944 classic 'Gaslight' starring Ingrid Bergman portrays coercive control & gaslighting. The YouTube video includes links to scenes of Gaslight that we discussed: https://youtu.be/JEZAdnbKVGE
