Clare's Law, or the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, gives you the right to know if your partner or ex-partner has a history of violence or abuse. It could be saving so many more lives; the problem is, no one knows about it.
With this short, partly participatory, documentary, my aim was to raise awareness for Clare's Law and start a conversation around what more can be done for domestic abuse victims.
AWARD WINNING SHORT DOCUMENTARY
Avon and Somerset Police have recently started integrating this short documentary into their disclosure officer training program, as well as Bristol UWE University who have incorporated it into their Policing Courses with plans to roll this out nationally across Police Forces and Universities.
BBC News recently interviewed me about this for their headline piece on Clare's Law.
2025-2027 FESTIVAL RUN
CREW
I loved working with this, majority female, crew as they were all so supportive and above all else, talented and we're all so proud of the documentary we spent so many months perfecting.
This film is one that's incredibly close to my heart as a survivor of domestic abuse so I am so proud and excited with how its festival run is going and I can't wait to be able to share this film further as my main aim is simply to get people talking about this topic.
STILLS FROM THE FILM
This doc has also been recognised with a number of awards, including the Royal Television Society's West of England Student Award for Journalism.
