This documentary has testimonies from survivors of domestic violence and victims’ families, and brings insights from social workers and psychologists who work with male perpetrators of domestic violence.

The documentary received its premiere in the UK on ITV on October 17, 2022. The film has received five star review from The Times. " There are many documentaries who seek out dangerous and inaccessible environments to convey something raw and mind-boggling. It has almost become a genre of its own. But no one does it exactly like Norwegian-British Deeyah Khan. She is up there in a class of her own, close to Louis Theroux and Errol Morris.
