Out at Six follows the story of director, Livi Kessel’s own abusive relationship starting when she was 17 years old and through the stages that research has shown can predict domestic violence homicide. Through interviews with friends and family who witnessed each stage from an increasing distance due to the classic abuser tactic of isolation, the film reveals how easy it is for loved ones — as well as the victim– to miss or dismiss the warning signs.
Following the screening, a panel of Finding Our Voices survivors will share what resonated with them about Livi’s story and lead a community conversation on the patterns of domestic abuse, how to recognize them, and practical ways community members and loved ones can support someone who may be at risk.
Tickets to this community event will be offered on a pay-what-you-can sliding scale and will support the Strand and Finding Our Voices.
