Series 1
Breaking Silence is a video series that shares Simonne Butler's story of surviving family violence and follows her as she meets people around the country who are working with determination to raise awareness about the abuse cycle and how it can be changed.
She discovers a range of responses from those making a difference: from practical support in setting up a new household to working with men on how to be emotionally open. We hear the personal stories from fathers and husbands who once thought their lives were untouched by domestic violence, who now actively campaign to spread knowledge about how family harm is often hidden from plain sight.
Breaking Silence captures many voices speaking a single truth - abuse thrives in secrecy, ending abusive behaviour requires self-knowledge and the courage to speak out.
