A Woman's Place - Short Stories Series The Alarm Rings Softly Caribbean women use drama and reggae to fight domestic violence.
12 minutes
Directed by Judith Laird
Produced by Jel Productions with TVE
In the Caribbean, women subjected to violence from their partners as a result of substance abuse often felt they had no right to appeal to the law. Low self-esteem and the feeling that it was somehow their fault left them trapped in a cycle of dependency and guilt. But a new generation of women is using drama and reggae to focus attention on a once taboo subject.
