Great Domestic Violence Movie
Provoked is an awesome movie that shows the complexities of domestic violence. It’s about a Punjabi housewife in London who suffers under her husband’s brutality for years and what the affects of violence are upon her. The movie also shows how a Guerilla Fighter, in this case a South Asian social worker, can have a dramatic effect not only for Kiranjit Ahluwaltia, the main character’s life, but also affecting the law and many other victims’ lives after that. This moving story is based on a true story. What surprised me, but shouldn’t, was how much this story resembled my own even though I am from a very different ethnic group, social status, and life situation. It goes to show that abuse, is abuse, is abuse. Watch Provoked and see an interesting insight into domestic violence.
