SUMMARY:A Better Man
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Campbell River &amp\; North Island Transition Society inv
 ites you a film screening fundraiser for their organization\, sponsored by
  the Kinette Club of Campbell River. Tickets are only $5.00 and all procee
 ds will go the Transition Society.\n&nbsp\;\nA Better Man - directed by L
 awrence Jackman &amp\; Attiya Khan (2017 | 1 h 19 min)\n\n\nOn a hot sum
 mer 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\, Att
 iya has asked Steve to meet. She wants to know how he remembers their rel
 ationship and if he is willing to take responsibility for his violent acti
 ons. 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 i
 mportant starting point for Steve. For the first time ever\, he speaks of 
 the abuse and cracks opens the door to dealing with the past. Illuminating
  a new paradigm for domestic-violence prevention\, A Better Man offers a 
 fresh and nuanced look at the healing and revelation that can happen for e
 veryone involved when men take responsibility for their abuse. It also emp
 owers audience members to play new roles in challenging domestic violence\
 , whether it’s in their own relationships or as part of a broader moveme
 nt for social change. This work deals with mature subject matter. Viewer d
 iscretion is advised. \n\n\nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/209220805\n\n---\n
