IN THE MIX - Twisted Love - Dating Violence Exposed
About this product:
Length: 30 min. Performance rights and Discussion Guide included. (Gr. 6-12, College) (Available with Spanish subtitles) When loves turns ugly, you have to learn to walk away. Neve Campbell joins In the Mix reporters for a powerful and emotional look at something that more and more teens are facing: dating violence. We meet young women who have been emotionally and physically abused by the guys they loved and survived to get out of the relationship. We also talk to young men who have been abusers, and visit with teens teaching other teens about sexual stereotypes in a Boston program. Then we visit a program in New York where teens attack the issue of dating violence with a unique weapon: theatre. The District Attorney of Westchester County tells teens about their legal rights, and we learn about the signs of abuse and where you can go for help. Appropriate for a classroom, youth group, or peer counseling programs, teens will gain an understanding of the issue and be better equipped to deal with it effectively.-Video Librarian Used in an educational session, your video was well received and the group benefited from it immensely. --Rebecca Zwart, domestic violence advocate.
