In this powerful short film from producers Nathanael Matanick and Christina Matanick, we witness the impact of domestic violence on a young girl. The consequences of her caregivers’ violence are far-reaching. The girl's world is shattered, her family breaks apart, and her life is turned up-side-down.

This is trauma.

This film shows graphically how trauma fragments the world outside. But it also depicts how the world within is injured. Trauma undermines self-esteem and erodes trust, setting the stage for difficulties ahead.

As difficult as it is to watch, the film illuminates the core elements of trauma. It offers a starting place for understanding, repair, and hope.
