Powerful Documentary Films

"Tina's Story"

Tina's life was a living hell. Repeatedly molested as a child but afraid to tell anyone, "Tina's Story" recounts the obscene physical and psychological abuse that took her on an out-of-control emotional roller coaster until she died at age 15.

What makes these mental health films different and so moving is that they describe the impact of physical and sexual violence and misperceptions on their victims.

You can watch them using your windows media player. Then give us your feedback on our special bulletin boards.
