When Women Kill
A powerful documentary about three battered women who, after years of violence, kill their abusers.
Barbara Doran / Canada / 1994 / 47 min
What would make an ordinary woman kill her husband? This powerful documentary is about three battered women who, after years of violence, kill their abusers. These women killed when they felt they had no other options: the police and the courts did not protect them, and society failed to take them seriously. When Women Kill challenges the legal system to confront the systemic and widespread violence that men inflict daily on the home front.
