Review
It’s a woman’s world, a hard hitting documentary on domestic violence. Depicts the life of a 16 year old girl, Amrit and her struggles of coping with a young teenage violent relationship. The story of Amrit builds up with her doing things in which a 16 year old girl , would be doing but results in her boyfriend disapproving and aggressively ‘beating’ her on a dance floor. She then confides with the ‘nation’ and tells her trauma to a diary camera.After copying with the violent relationship for a short while, she decides to pluck up the courage, and call a domestic violence helpline but soon realizes she is not brave enough and hangs up the phone.

Amrit then realizes enough is enough and chooses to confide in the police about her ordeal after being afraid to step out of her house and receiving numerous threats, from her vile boyfriend. To allow the audience to see the hard hitting reality that domestic violence occurs in marriages we decided to include a scene with ‘ wedding vows’ to allow the audience to open there eyes and see that this sort of behavior should not occur in relationships especially those which are solemn .
To end her torment Amrit ends with her telling the police about her suffering after contacting a domestic violence helpline.Communicating to the audience help is available if required.
Amrit.
