So I'm playing a character in a show right now who was a victim of child abuse (or domestic abuse, the script doesn't really say), and when doing research for a role I like to watch documentaries. Does anyone know any good documentaries about abuse? Thanks.

Not a documentary, but check out Bastard of out Carolina.


Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

Go see "Precious." All kinds of abuse in that movie.

Frederick Wiseman's film DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (and its counterpart, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 2) is probably the best available documentary-wise. It's a shame so few people know of his work, and his films on other subjects are equally absorbing.
