“Knowing who, understanding why” trailer - upcoming film launch 2nd May 2024
“Knowing Who, Understanding Why delves into the lives of two friends, each navigating distinct but equally profound challenges. One is the representative of the forgotten generation, weathered by the passage of time and societal neglect. The other has endured the harrowing journey of sexual abuse at the hands of her own father. Despite the weight of their experiences, both women emerge as vital contributors to their community, challenging societal norms and stereotypes, proving the universal human experience of resilience and the unwavering strength found within the human spirit. The film goes beyond mere documentation; it serves as a powerful tool for creating awareness, asking for understanding, and challenging societal stigmas. It addresses a critical call to action, especially for social workers and similar agencies working with vulnerable individuals. The film encourages these professionals not only to know their 'cases' as individuals facing hardships in the present, but also to understand the past circumstances that led them to their current struggles. The film also aims to break the silence surrounding challenging experiences and, in doing so, invites survivors of abuse to share their stories as part of a collective process of healing and understanding. It encourages audiences to confront uncomfortable truths, embrace empathy, and join the movement to break the cycle of silence around traumatic experiences.” summary provided care of Little Corner Pictures.
