A personal, in-depth look at the effects of domestic violence against women.
On a hot summer night 22 years ago, 18-year-old Attiya Khan ran through the streets, frightened for her life. She was fleeing her ex-boyfriend Steve, who'd been abusing her on a daily basis. Now, all these years later, Attiya has asked Steve to meet. She wants to know how he remembers their relationship and if he is willing to take responsibility for his violent actions. This emotionally raw first meeting, filmed by Attiya with Steve's consent, is the starting point for A Better Man. The rough footage also marks a new beginning in Attiya's own recovery process-as well as an important starting point for Steve. For the first time ever, he speaks of the abuse and cracks opens the door to dealing with the past.

暴力往往在伤害了他人的同时，也重重伤害了自己。
补标。在加领看完了这部片子，看到挺多在场的人都在拭泪，感觉挺触动的。片中女主描述自己被家暴的场景的时候，感觉真是太可怕了，汗毛都竖起来了……这部片让我最感到害怕的就是女生和前男友和解，还一起去了他们之前住的地方，可能是中外文化不同所以我才觉得这其实不太合适吧2020.11.25
国际消除家庭暴力日，在加拿大驻广州总领事馆巴克维尔空间看完了这部纪录片，成为了“更好的男人”。
Educative....only the first abuse matters
是纪录片，一种明显区别于中国现实的故事形式：高中时代遭遇男友家暴的女主二十多年后在 NGO 的帮助下与前男友展开对话，希望以此治愈心理创伤，同时施暴者也得到救赎。这只是一个个体案例，反应的是广泛存在的家暴现状。加领馆观影结束后，我的发言意在表明米秃和家暴有区别，还是给理解成二者之间没关系🤷♂️看来以后发言需要 make yourself understood ,better
关于家庭暴力 me too 女权 大家在片后的的分享才是最让我深刻的 妈耶 说一件在身边的事 虽然我家很幸福 但是邻居家不是 男的经常打女的 是那种隔着两个院子都能听到的打脸声 …小时候听着特别恐怖 现在想来要解决的话真的需要做很多事 首先是大家的意识 不要觉得被家暴是家丑不可外扬 还有即使作为第三方也不要觉得劝阻是多管闲事 更重要的是建立可以安全庇护受害人的地方啊 有待行动！
很少见这么无聊的电影orz
