Over one million Canadian families have experienced some form of domestic abuse this year, according to Statistics Canada. Once the innocent and forgotten victims of domestic violence, children break the silence and secrecy of family abuse in Let’s Talk About It. A compelling and purposeful call to action, the documentary puts a voice and a face to the global epidemic that is breeding a new generation of abusers. Deepa Mehta has created a chilling landscape with the cautionary tales of three immigrant women who share their stories of domestic violence and the resulting negative impact and influence on their children from their exposure to violence in the home.
