Peace Over Violence's Survivor Speakers Bureau, “Voices Over Violence,” is a group of individuals willing to share and discuss in an open and educational way their experiences of sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and domestic violence.

If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, stalking or sexual assault and would like to share your story, join us for an upcoming Voices Over Violence training. The training will cover the forms of violence addressed by our speakers, program protocols and procedures in addition to a writing workshop to help you share your story. If you are interested, please contact Kelsey Jones at kelsey@peaceoverviolence.org for an application.

We often gets requests from the community for survivors to speak about their experiences through presentations, panel discussions, and media interviews, to educate the public about the realities of interpersonal violence. Speakers are able to address common myths surrounding violence, resources, and the healing process.

Films Over Violence: What Doesn't Kill Me

Films Over Violence: What Doesn't Kill Me

  • 1015 Wilshire Blvd. #200 Los Angeles, CA 90017 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

FILMS OVER VIOLENCE PRESENTS “WHAT DOESN’T KILL ME”

ABOUT THE FILM
Every day, 5 million children in the U.S. experience domestic violence, either as witnesses or victims. Due to a horrific system that favors abusive fathers, a shocking number of mothers who seek to protect their children (and themselves) end up losing them. Most Americans are unaware that an abusive father, who contests custody from a protective mother, will win 70 percent of the time.   This bold and provocative film is a long overdue exploration into why the most powerful country in the world is not protecting its most vulnerable mothers and children and thus enabling generations of abusers to continue their abuse. 

Along with intimate personal stories, family revelations with hard hitting facts and frank discussions on the child custody issue with feminists, lawyers, judges and domestic violence experts we follow the indomitable 86-year-old Charlotta Harrison, a survivors’ advocate who herself survived a 60-year abusive marriage.  She speaks hauntingly about the pressures and fears that make it so difficult for women in danger to leave. With Charlotta, we meet women and children who have been separated, silenced, and pushed to extreme methods of escape—and who are fighting back.  ​

This sensitive film by British film maker Rachel Meyrick tells the story of the women and children who are fighting back against a court system biased toward male privilege and wealth. WHAT DOESN’T KILL ME exposes a national travesty compared by some to the Catholic Church scandal. A timely film for America; where radical misogyny is being exposed even in the highest offices and institutions in the country.​

This film is now being represented by WOMEN MAKE MOVIES.
