Vidéo produit en 1991 par Kinetic Inc. de Toronto (Ontario). Une ville canadienne, belle et paisible, sert de toile de fond à trois témoignages de femmes maltraitées. Leurs expériences servent à illustrer la spirale de la violence, surtout l'histoire de Susan qui se prépare pour le procès de son mari violent. Un aspect important du film est également le modèle unique de collaboration entre la police, le procureur de la Couronne et les intervenants d'un refuge pour femmes battues. Les interviews des femmes sont placées dans le contexte des messages que les autorités, les médias et la publicité envoient aux femmes concernant leur rôle dans la société et dans leurs relations. 1, record 3, French, - Un%20pont%20sur%20l%27ab%C3%AEme%20du%20silence
