Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence shows the police in Tampa, Florida as they respond to domestic violence calls, in addition to the work of The Spring, the principal shelter in Tampa for women and children. Sequences with the police include police response, intervention, and attempted resolution of domestic violence calls. Sequences at the shelter include intake interviews, individual counseling sessions, anger management training, group therapy, conversations among clients and between clients and staff, and staff meetings, along with school activities, therapy, and counseling for children at the shelter.

"Domestic Violence is ultimately the most compassionate of all the Wiseman films. We come out of it feeling that change is possible, even as the film circles back to where it started."
David Edelstein, The New York Times
"Domestic Violence examines the ambiguous nature of human bonds, the nightmare versions of romance and family love. Virtually all the people we see, male and female, insist that they love the ones they torment."
David Denby, New Yorker

This film is part of the Frederick Wiseman's America series.
