A moment of levity on-set with co-director Attiya Khan and cinematographer Iris Ng. Even while making a film about a difficult topic like #domesticviolence, this powerhouse team of women helped each other find joy. #TBT

We asked people who've experienced violence what they would say to the person who hurt them if they could. Their generous answers shaped the A BETTER MAN interactive companion. Access the interactive and a discussion guide: abettermanfilm.com/interactive

Co-director Attiya Khan remembers the day she ran into ex-boyfriend Steve, when the ideas that would eventually grow into A BETTER MAN began cooking in her brain. Excerpted from her audience Q&As during our theatrical run at Hot Docs Cinema.

“I didn’t know how to help you.” “Who you were helped me.” Male allies like Seth helped Attiya flee violence, so it was important to her that the film included him. Seth’s role has prompted some of our most stirring audience discussions. Watch: abettermanfilm.com/watch

My god BBC. “The extraordinary story of paralympic and Olympic sprinter” who “suddenly found himself at the centre of a murder investigation.” Extraordinary? Found himself? INSPIRATIONAL?! No way to talk about a convicted murderer. Talk about minimising the murder of women.

“Advocates have pointed out that there’s little evidence indicating longer prison sentences make people less likely to abuse their partners in the future. Instead, incarceration can aggravate conditions associated with intimate partner violence, including unemployment and trauma”
