Director's Statement by Adam Joel

Nobody told me what “emotional abuse” was until after I had already experienced it for four years straight. My girlfriend at the time was a very loving person, but she also manipulated me, gaslit me, and pressured me into ending every female friendship that I had. Hollywood movies teach us that abuse only “counts” if you see blood or bruises— but the first act of abuse is rarely violent. Most of us don’t learn about coercive control before we experience it firsthand, which is a big reason why many survivors only recognize the early signs in hindsight. Although we can’t change the past, we can do so much more to support survivors and prepare the next generation of young people entering their first relationships right now.
