UK Channel 5 documentaries highlight the effects of domestic violence

A new documentary was aired  in the UK by Channel 5 which focuses on domestic violence.  Two women Hazel and Kellys’ stories are told using footage gathered by the police officer’s body cameras who attend the scene, taped recordings of the women’s 999 calls and interviews with the women in the months that follow their last assaults. Both women now have restraining orders, further harassment has occurred and both discuss a persistent feeling of being unsafe.
