“For one couple out of eight, this is not a fiction.”
—-
Created by a Belgian organization dedicated to protect victims of domestic violence, those films help us realize how little conflicts become huge wars between couples that don’t communicate openly. Receiving millions of reactions on social media in the movies’ original language, French, the films helped many men and women to identify that what they were experiencing in their everyday life was not a normal relationship.
Providing an open-minded look of the simple life of a simple couple, this story has had a strong impact on viewers. The creators have given viewers a way to turn those emotions into actions. On the organization’s website, documents are written for both for men and women that urge people feeling stress, anger or fear in their relationship to call for assistance.
Not only does it show how victims should react, but also how people who commit violence may need help to understand what they’re doing, deconstruct their story and leave the circle of violence.
The first part is the story of Fred and Marie. The second video’s title comes with her name first, Marie and Fred.
