PBS: 2005 documentary (1 hour) "Breaking the Silence---Children's Story
"chronicles the impact of domestic violence on children, the systemic failure of family courts across the country to protect children from their abusers, and the legal injustices encountered by protective parents.
Breaking the Silence: Children’s Stories is a follow-up to the acclaimed 2001 PBS documentary, Breaking the Silence: Journeys of Hope, which focused on women and domestic abuse. “Journeys of Hope documented how much we, as a society, made progress to combat domestic violence and serve its victims,” explains producer Dominique Lasseur (www.tatgelasseur.com). “Children Stories reminds us that a lot needs to be done to better protect our children from the long term effects of living with violent abusers.” ~LINK
