Love You to Death: A Year of Domestic Violence
Documentary examining the violence inflicted by men on women every day, telling the stories of all the women who died at the hands of a male partner or ex-partner during one year.
On average, seven women a month in Britain are killed by their male partner or ex-partner. This documentary by acclaimed director Vanessa Engle tells the gripping and untold human stories behind this shocking yet faceless statistic, shedding light on a majorly important subject - the continuing and disproportionate violence visited by men on women every day.
The film features a roll call of all the women killed by their male partner or ex-partner in the course of one calendar year. Of the 164 women murdered in Britain in 2013, 86 were killed by their male partner or ex-partner. This film names all 86 women and, through interviews with families, friends and neighbours, tells the stories of seven of them in detail.
