Saving Mary Alice

This is the story of an abuse survivor who takes matters into her own hands when she learns that her pregnant daughter is falling into the same toxic trap. This film looks into the broken lives of a family that is caught up in the deeply rooted cycle of multi-generational domestic violence. When one member of the family draws a line in the sand and commits to do whatever it takes to make the violence stop, she is faced with the possibility of an unexpected and horrific end that was not what she planned. This very real story could happen in anyone's home, to anyone's family, to anyone's child. This film depicts female driven, multi-generational themes that defy sexist clichés.
